BBC News: Killing of six people in Krakow square ‘constitutes terrorist offence’, says Polish prosecutor
Summary
Police are continuing to investigate after six people were killed in a shooting in Krakow’s market square.
The head of Poland’s police force, Marek Boroń, says 16 more people were injured, including two police officers, five foreign nationals and the suspect.
Three other bodies were found at the suspect’s home, with police saying they were identified as the 25-year-old’s parents and sister.
The Krakow branch of Poland’s National Prosecutor’s Office says the mass shooting in the city centre constitutes “a terrorist offence”.
Late on Saturday, Poland’s interior minister described the suspect – a Polish citizen – as being inspired by “far-right ideologies”; police said he used “military weapons” in the attack.
The scene of the attack – Krakow’s market square – remains cordoned off and quiet. People are still advised to stay away.
