The vigil follows the bulletin's opening report from Kraków, Poland, where the broadcaster says a gunman killed six people and injured at least 15 others. Europe correspondent Josh Bavas reports that police shot and captured the suspect. He notes that mass shootings are rare in Poland, describing its gun controls as generally strict and firearm ownership as low.
