Police shot and subdued the suspected attacker after deadly gunfire in Kraków's Main Market Square, according to an initial report from Germany's ARD news service, tagesschau. Police said he had acted alone.

The November 7 video shows flashing emergency lights, cordons and responders working in the square as bystanders watch. The report puts the death toll at at least six, with more than ten people injured; its accompanying description gives the injury count as 15.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on X that the circumstances remained unclear, the report says. The square is in Kraków's historic Old Town, a central part of the southern Polish city's cultural life.

The Short is titled "Tote nach Schüssen in Krakau", meaning "Deaths after shootings in Krakow". It captures the early police response rather than the later investigation: the broadcaster's November 8 evening bulletin subsequently reported that Polish prosecutors were investigating the shooting as terrorism.
