Story summary

On November 7, 2026, a 24-year-old gunman with far-right views killed six people and wounded at least fifteen others in the historic center of Kraków, Poland's second-largest city. The attacker drove his car into the Main Market Square just before 3 PM local time and began firing randomly at pedestrians. Among the victims was a British national; the other five were identified as Polish citizens. After fleeing, police found two women and a man dead in the gunman’s home in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, about 93 miles northeast of Kraków—likely family members. The shooter died from his injuries on November 9 at the hospital where he was being treated.
