Krakow Gunman Kills 6 and Injures 16, Deepening Poland's Political Split

Summary
A 24-year-old Polish national killed six people and wounded 16 in a shooting rampage from his car in Krakow, in what Bloomberg described as Poland’s deadliest shooting in decades.
Authorities identified the suspect as a far-right radical, pushing the attack quickly into Poland’s already deep political divide as the country searched for answers.
Krakow’s old town square—usually crowded in one of Poland’s biggest tourist destinations—stood empty Sunday under heavy police presence after the attack.
The massacre left the country shaken and underscored how a rare mass shooting can reverberate far beyond the immediate death toll in Poland.
