A gunman killed six people and wounded 15 in Krakow’s main square on Saturday, in an attack Poland’s defence minister described as an act of terror. The shooting in the busy Old Town has prompted a criminal investigation and raised concerns about far-right extremism.

Police also found three people shot dead at the suspect’s family home, and are investigating whether he was responsible for both attacks. Senior Constables Jakub Kulik and Artur Morański intervened, with one officer wounded.
