According to Reuters, the attacker, a 24-year-old Polish citizen, fired randomly from inside a car at people in the main market square. Poland’s interior minister said police shot the attacker three minutes after receiving a report of the incident.


According to information provided by the authorities, the victims include four women and two men. Police have also confirmed that one of those killed was a British citizen.


Poland’s Interior Ministry has announced that five foreign nationals from Austria, Germany, Portugal, Russia and the United Kingdom were injured in the incident. Two police officers were also injured.


Marcin Kierwiński, Poland’s interior minister, said preliminary investigations suggest the attacker may have been influenced by far-right views. He said this would be examined as one of the lines of inquiry.


However, police have not yet released any information about the main motive for the shooting.


Police officials said the attacker used an AR-15-type rifle during the attack and had a legal permit to possess firearms. Other weapons and ammunition were also found during a search of his car.


Following the incident, a spokesperson for Polish President Karol Nawrocki announced that November 8 and 9, corresponding to 17 and 18 Aqrab, would be declared days of national mourning.


In response to the incident, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed his condolences to the victims’ families.


European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas also said the consequences of the incident would not be confined to Poland and that its impact would be felt beyond the country’s borders.



Polish authorities have announced that six people have died following a shooting by an armed man in the main square of Krakow, in southern Poland. Police shot and arrested the attacker. Poland’s prime minister has also said that three more bodies were found at the suspect’s residence.
