"We inform you that the perpetrator of the tragic events died this morning in the hospital," regional police said in a post on X of the 24-year-old Polish man who allegedly opened fire on Saturday in central Krakow, killing six people.
Authorities said the man had been "fascinated by far-right ideologies", and prime minister Donald Tusk called the shooting – the deadliest in the country since the end of communism in 1989 – an act of "terrorism".
