A gunman suspected of killing six people in the Polish city of Krakow and three family members at his home died in a hospital early Monday, police said.
The shooter opened fire in in Krakow’s Old Town on Saturday afternoon, killing six people — four Poles, one British and one Austrian national — and injuring 15 others. He was then shot by police.
Authorities said the bodies of two women and a man — identified as the suspect’s parents, 53 and 52, and 21-year-old sister — were later found at his home in Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski.
The suspect — who was in his mid-20s and has not been publicly named — appeared to have been “fascinated by far-right ideologies,” Polish Interior Minister Marcin Kierwinski said Saturday.
Officials said Sunday they had opened an investigation into the attack and attempted killings of others, including police officers, which they said constituted a terrorist offense.
Government spokesman Adam Szlapka told Poland’s TVN24 authorities were waiting for “complete information” before commenting on a possible motive.
