Krakow gunman dies in hospital

A gunman suspected of killing six people in Kraków and three others at his home, has died in hospital, police have said.

Michał Oksiński, 24, allegedly opened fire in the Polish city's Main Market Square on Saturday in a suspected far-Right terror attack.

A 32-year-old British man and five other people were killed in the unprecedented mass shooting. A further 16, including a British national and two police officers, were taken to hospital for treatment.

Following a chase, police shot and arrested Oksiński and he was then taken to hospital where he underwent several operations, according to prosecutors.

"We would like to inform you that the perpetrator of the tragic events died in hospital early this morning," the city's police force wrote on X.

In the boot of his vehicle, police found a large cache of weapons, including a DB carbine, a P99 pistol, a Glock pistol and a Chinese-made bulletproof vest.
