The suspect behind the mass shooting in Krakow's Main Square has died in hospital, Polish authorities have confirmed. The 24-year-old killed six people and injured 15, including two police officers, in an attack Prime Minister Donald Tusk described as an act of terrorism.
Among the dead were four Polish citizens, one British citizen and one Austrian citizen. The attacker, who lived in Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, held a legal firearms licence and had no prior convictions or police record.
Separately, police discovered three bodies at the suspect's flat: his parents and his younger sister, all bearing apparent gunshot wounds. Investigators believe the same individual was responsible for both incidents.
Autopsies are under way and are expected to take up to two days.
