Poland is in mourning after a gunman opened fire in Krakow's Main Square on Saturday afternoon, killing six people and wounding more than a dozen others in one of the country's best-known tourist spots.
Police said the attacker, a 24-year-old man, fired from his car as he drove through the square and then sped south through the old town. Two officers stopped him a short distance away. Both were shot in the chest during the confrontation, but one managed to return fire, wounding the suspect and ending the attack. When police later searched his family home, they found the bodies of his parents and sister.
The two officers have been named as senior constables Jakub Kulik and Artur Morański. They remain in a serious condition but have been brought out of comas.
Two surgeons who were nearby, Dr Mateusz Wierdak and Professor Michał Pędziwiatr, gave emergency treatment at the scene. Prof Pędziwiatr told Polish media that his colleague had almost certainly saved one officer's life. The injured were taken to six hospitals across the city.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk praised the courage of the police, paramedics and members of the public who rushed to help. The suspect, who is in hospital in a serious condition, has not been publicly named.
