Polish PM: Three people found dead in shooter’s home
Polish authorities say three people were found dead at the gunman’s home after a mass shooting in Krakow’s Main Market Square. Two police officers were also injured during the attack.
The gunman who killed six people and wounded 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 remained in critical condition at a hospital since Saturday’s shooting in Krakow. He underwent several operations before his death.
Polish prosecutors have launched an investigation into the killings, attempted killings and attacks on police officers as possible terrorist offenses.

The three are believed to have suffered fatal gunshot wounds, although authorities have not confirmed how they died.
