At least six people, including four women and two men, have been killed in a shooting incident in Krakow, Poland, according to police.
About a dozen others sustained injuries during the attack, which prompted a major security response around the city's Main Market Square.
Poland's Interior Minister, Marcin Kierwiński, confirmed that two police officers were among those injured. One of the officers was reported to be in critical condition.
Police said the suspect, identified as a Polish citizen, was shot by officers and subsequently taken to hospital.
A police spokesperson disclosed that the suspect was wearing military-style clothing and had used military weapons during the incident.
Following the shooting, security authorities cordoned off the area around the Main Market Square and directed members of the public away from the scene as emergency services responded.
Videos circulating from the location captured gunshots ringing out, while images showed emergency personnel attending to the situation.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk described the incident as "tragic" in a social media statement and said he was receiving regular updates on developments.
