Polish PM: 3 people found dead in shooter’s home
Polish authorities say three people were found dead inside the suspected gunman’s home after a mass shooting at Krakow’s Main Market Square. Two police officers were also injured during the attack.
The gunman accused of killing six people and injuring 15 others in a crowded square in Poland died Monday after police shot him during the attack, authorities said.
The 24-year-old suspect had been in critical condition at a hospital since Saturday’s shooting in Krakow. He underwent several operations before dying.
Polish prosecutors have launched an investigation into the killings and attempted killings, including attacks on police officers, as a possible terrorist offense.
