Poland has been left shocked after a rare mass shooting in the country's south — prompting national mourning and heightened security, as authorities say the attack was likely driven by far-right ideology.

The gunman killed at least six people in Kraków during a deadly rampage in the city's historic main square on Saturday. Sixteen others were injured.

Three bodies were later found at the suspect's home in the town of Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, about 120 miles northeast of Kraków. Police say they were the attacker's sister, mother and father.
