Krakow shooter dies in hospital as Poland mourns nine victims

The 24-year-old suspect in the Krakow mass shooting has died in hospital as Polish authorities continue investigating the motive behind the tragedy.
The 24-year-old suspect in the Krakow mass shooting, identified as Michal O., died in hospital on Monday after being critically wounded by police officers during his arrest.
Authorities confirmed that before opening fire from a car on Krakow's main square on Saturday—killing six people and injuring at least 15 others—the suspect killed his parents and sister at the family home. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk described the discovery at the residence as "the next act of this tragedy" during an emergency crisis meeting.
Police revealed that the suspect was a licensed gun club member who carried out the attack using a civilian semi-automatic rifle. Polish President Karol Nawrocki declared Sunday and Monday as days of national mourning across the country while law enforcement continues searching for a motive.
