The gunman who killed six people and wounded 15 others in a shooting at a crowded square in Poland died Monday after being shot by police during the attack, authorities said.
The 24-year-old suspect had been hospitalized in critical condition since Saturday’s shooting in Krakow and underwent several operations before his death.
Polish prosecutors have opened an investigation into the killings and attempted killings, including attacks on police officers, as a possible terrorist offense.
