The 24-year-old suspect accused of killing six people in Krakow's central square has died in hospital, according to Polish police.

The 24-year-old gunman responsible for killing six people in the historic central square of Krakow died in hospital on Monday morning, local police confirmed.

The suspect was shot and detained by law enforcement shortly after opening fire on bystanders on Saturday in an unprecedented attack in Poland. Prosecutors stated that the suspect was allegedly inspired by far-right ideologies.

While reporting across outlets consistently confirms six fatalities, some coverage initially made reference to nine victims in headline text. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the attack.
