Story summary

On November 7, 2026, a gunman killed six people and wounded at least 15 others in Krakow’s main market square, a popular tourist destination in Poland. The perpetrator drove a car into the square just before 3 pm, then fired randomly at pedestrians, causing widespread panic as witnesses fled for safety. Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed that three additional bodies were found at the suspect's home in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, about 80 miles northeast of Krakow; these victims are believed to be members of his family. The gunman, identified as a 24-year-old with far-right views who was a cadet at a military school, is also among the injured and underwent surgery following the attack. Krakow began two days of national mourning on November 9, 2026, in memory of those killed.
