Poland is observing a period of mourning after a gunman attacked pedestrians in Krakow’s Main Market Square on November 7. The shooting began at about 3 p.m. after the assailant drove a black Subaru into the square, leaving six people dead and 16 wounded.

inPoland.net.pl reported the details on Sunday, November 8. Police shot and stopped the suspect, identified as 24-year-old Michał O. from Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski. He remains in hospital in critical condition, while two senior officers were also wounded during the intervention.

Parts of the historic square remain closed as Małopolska police and forensic teams carry out another inspection. Some areas have resumed normal activity, and traffic has reopened on Dietla Street near the location where officers detained the gunman.

Candles have been placed at the scene, and flags on municipal buildings, trams and buses have been lowered. Poland’s nationwide mourning period covers November 8 and 9, while Krakow will remain in mourning through November 11. Concerts, performances and other celebrations in the city have been cancelled for the period.
