Police shot gunman who killed at least six in Krakow market square, NPR reports
A gunman who drove into Krakow's Main Square and fired at random killed at least six people and injured about 15, and police shot and wounded him, according to NPR.
Police shot and wounded the gunman in a gunfight after he opened fire in Krakow's Main Square, NPR reports. He had driven into the square and targeted random people, according to NPR.
At least six people were killed and 15 injured, according to PBS NewsHour and NPR. BBC News also reports at least six dead. Earlier reports, including from Deutsche Welle, Al Jazeera and ABC News, put the toll at five. Deutsche Welle's reports describe the injured as a dozen or more.
Krakow police said the man drove onto the square and fired from his car. PBS reports police identified him as a Polish citizen. BBC News says he wore military fatigues. The Guardian, citing a police statement on X, says he entered the square at about 3pm on Saturday.
The Guardian also reports he was caught while trying to flee. NPR instead describes a gunfight in which police wounded him. The reports do not explain how the two accounts fit together.
PBS describes the square as a major tourist destination in the city center.
