A gunman suspected of killing six people in Kraków has died in hospital, police in Poland said early on Monday.

The suspect had been wounded in a shootout with police and had been in critical condition in hospital.

“We would like to inform you that the perpetrator of the tragic events died in hospital early this morning,” Malopolska Policja wrote on X.

Polish prosecutors had opened a terrorism investigation after a 24-year-old man opened fire in a busy market square on Saturday afternoon, killing six including a Briton and injuring 17, in an attack that authorities said was probably inspired by far-right ideologies.
