Gunman Kills Six, Injures Dozens in Krakow Market Square Shooting; Suspect in Custody

Gunman Kills Six, Injures Dozens in Krakow Market Square Shooting; Suspect in CustodyPreviousNext

On November 7, 2026, a 24- to 25-year-old Polish gunman opened fire from a moving car in Krakow's Main Market Square, killing six people—including four women and two men—and injuring around 15 others, including two police officers. The attacker, dressed in military-style clothing and armed with a military-type rifle, was shot and wounded by police and taken to hospital. Authorities found three bodies, likely the suspect's family members, at his home. Officials are investigating possible far-right ideological motives, and Poland has declared national mourning.
