The gunman who killed six people in central Krakow last week has died in hospital, police have said.

Police announced early Monday morning that the 24-year-old attacker had died.

The assailant was shot by police officers and arrested minutes ‌after he opened fire at people at Krakow’s historic main square from his car on Saturday.

The government said the attacker may ⁠have been inspired by far-right ideology, without providing further details.
