In brief
Polish investigators seized two AR‑15 rifles, two pistols, and about 500 rounds of ammunition from the gunman and his vehicle in Krakow. The deadly attack killed six people and injured 16, including two police officers, and the gunman died in hospital Monday.
Investigators recovered four firearms and around 500 rounds of ammunition from the gunman and his car after a lethal shooting spree in Krakow’s Main Market Square, according to Polish prosecutors.
The seized weapons consisted of two AR‑15 rifles and two pistols, and the ammunition included shells for those guns, officials said.
The incident occurred on Saturday afternoon when the gunman drove into the square and fired at random passersby before police shot and detained him, officials said.
Reports say six people were killed and 16 others wounded, including two police officers, and the gunman later died in hospital Monday.
Investigators are counting shots fired, which could number in the dozens or hundreds, and will determine the exact figure after analysis.
Earlier that evening, police indicated that the gunman had already shot at least dozens of times and that spent cartridge cases were recovered from the scene.
The National Prosecutor’s Office, citing spokesperson Przemyslaw Nowak, confirmed that the weapons and ammunition were found on the suspect and in his vehicle.
