Six people have died and 16 have been injured in the shooting in central Kraków, according to Ukraine's Television News Service (TSN). Its update also reports the discovery of three bodies at the suspect's home, without clearly establishing whether those deaths are included in the toll given at the start.
The report says the gunman drove onto the Main Market Square, in the Polish city's historic Old Town, and opened fire with an automatic weapon. Police wounded and detained him after an exchange of gunfire. Two officers were among those injured, the broadcaster reports.
A police spokeswoman identified on her uniform as K. Cisło describes officers stopping the driver's attempted escape at a nearby intersection. Speaking through a Ukrainian voice-over translation, she says he wore military clothing and used a military-style long gun. Police also found a large quantity of weapons and ammunition in his car, she says.
Citing preliminary police information, the broadcaster describes the suspect as a 25-year-old Polish citizen from Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski who acted alone. It reports that he supported far-right ideology. The video's description labels the account that the three people found dead at his home were relatives as unofficial.
The Short is titled "ЗРОСТАЄ КІЛЬКІСТЬ ЗАГИБЛИХ ЧЕРЕЗ СТРІЛЯНИНУ В КРАКОВІ", meaning "Death toll rises after shooting in Krakow". It also reports that Poland declared two days of mourning.
