Gunman opens fire from moving car in European tourist hotspot, leaving 6 dead and at least 11 wounded

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.

Authorities said the gunman held far-right views, but investigators have not publicly determined a motive for the attack.

Police also found the bodies of the suspect’s mother, father and sister at the family’s home in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, about 93 miles northeast of Krakow, according to The Associated Press. The three are believed to have suffered fatal gunshot wounds, although authorities have not confirmed how they died.
