Poland’s prime minister has said the deadly shooting in central Krakow on Saturday afternoon was an “act of terrorism.” 

Authorities say the suspected gunman was “fascinated by far-right ideology” and has “very radical” and “ultra-nationalistic” views.

The attacker opened fire with an automatic weapon at Krakow’s main square, a popular tourist attraction, killing several people and injuring others.

Police said they shot and wounded the suspected gunman, who was hospitalized.

Authorities also found three bodies at the suspect’s home.
