Story summary

On November 7, 2026, a 24-year-old Polish man with far-right views drove into Kraków’s main market square and opened fire, killing six people and injuring around 15 others. The gunman also allegedly killed three family members before the attack at his home in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, approximately 93 miles northeast of Kraków. Among those injured were citizens from the UK, Portugal, Russia, Germany, and Austria. Justice Minister Waldemar Zurek later stated that there was "a very strong indication" of right-wing extremism behind the suspect's actions, adding he visited websites about Norwegian mass killer Anders Behring Breivik. The suspect died in hospital on November 8 after being shot by police.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
