Poland mourns after a mass shooting in Kraków's Main Market Square

On Saturday 7 November a gunman drove into Kraków's Main Market Square and fired from his car, killing six people and injuring sixteen, including two police officers. Police shot and wounded him, and he died in hospital on 9 November.

Authorities are investigating the attack as a possible act of terrorism and said it was likely driven by far-right ideology. The government declared two days of national mourning.

Why it matters

Mass shootings are very rare in Poland, which has strict gun laws. In any emergency in Poland, call 112. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families and everyone in Kraków.
