Five foreign citizens were injured during the shooting on Krakow's Market Square, Western media reported with reference to the Polish Interior Ministry.

"Among the victims are five foreign citizens: from the UK, Germany, Austria, Portugal and Russia. Among the dead are a British citizen, three Polish citizens, as well as two people whose identities have not yet been established," Interior Minister Marcin Kervinsky said.

According to him, the suspect, a 25—year-old Polish citizen, was dressed in military-style clothing and used military-type weapons. Additional weapons were found in his car.

"The suspect held extremely radical views, and everything indicates that he was inspired by ultra—right ideologies," Kervinsky added.

Earlier at the Russian Embassy in Poland was informed that there is a Russian woman among the victims. Russian diplomats keep in touch with the relatives of the victim and are in contact with the Polish health authorities.

On Saturday evening, a man opened fire from a car at passers-by near Krakow's Market Square, six people were killed and 16 were injured. Later, police officers found the bodies of three more people in the house where the suspect lived.

The perpetrator of the attack was detained. He was injured during the arrest and was hospitalized.

Law enforcement officers are investigating whether the suspect cooperated with any groups, and also establish where he got the weapon.
