Poland is in mourning after a 24-year-old man with far-right views drove into a busy square in Krakow and opened fire, killing six people and wounding 15. The attack happened Saturday in Main Square, a major tourist hub. Police shot and wounded the attacker, who is also linked to three other deaths at his family home. Authorities describe the incident as an “act of terror.” The square remained partially closed Sunday as investigations continued. Two police officers who stopped the attacker are hospitalized, with one in critical condition. This is Poland’s first mass killing.
