Poland mourns after gunman kills 6 in Krakow's Main Square; prosecutors open terrorism probe
Poland began two days of national mourning Sunday after a 24-year-old man drove into Krakow's busy Main Square on Saturday and opened fire, killing six people and wounding 15 before police shot and wounded him, the Associated Press reported. Authorities said the attacker held far-right, "ultranationalistic" views, and Poland's defense minister called the attack an "act of terror." Polish prosecutors opened an investigation treating the shooting as a terrorist offense, The Guardian reported, and police confirmed the suspect's father, mother and sister were found dead at the family home in Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski. Officials said a British national was among the dead, and two police officers who stopped the gunman were hospitalized, one in critical condition, according to AP and NBC News.
