Krakow shooting suspect has died in hospital, police say

The 24-year-old, who officials said was apparently inspired by "far-right ideologies", was injured after opening fire in central Krakow, the second largest city in Poland, on Saturday. Armed officers raced to the scene and engaged in a gunfight with the suspect, who was shot within three minutes of the attack beginning, preventing a further massacre, officials said. After the shooting, which began shortly before 15:00 local time (14:00 GMT) in Krakow's busy Main Market Square, police identified the attacker as a 24-year-old Polish man but did not confirm his name.

In the hours after the shooting, a minister said early investigations indicate he was inspired by "far-right ideologies". The minister also described him as an "ultra-nationalist" without giving further details. Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk said three bodies - two women and one man - were found at the gunman's house when it was searched after the attack.

On Sunday, Polish police confirmed those three victims had been identified as the alleged gunman's 53-year-old father, 52-year-old mother and 21-year-old sister.
