## Summary

A 24-year-old Polish man who killed six people and injured 17 in a shooting in Kraków has died in hospital after being wounded in a shootout with police. Prosecutors opened a terrorism investigation, and Justice Minister Waldemar Zurek says inquiries will continue to establish whether the attacker acted alone.

The shooting took place on Saturday in the city’s Main Market Square, and one of those killed was British. Three relatives of the suspect, his parents and sister, were found dead at his home. Five injured people were foreign nationals, and two police officers were also hurt; officials have urged caution over early claims about the suspect’s far-right views.
