The Foreign Office has issued new travel guidance for Poland after six people, including a British man, were killed by a gunman in Krakow on Saturday (7 November).
It advises travellers in the immediate area to follow the advice of local authorities and monitor local media.
A man open fired at around 3pm local time (2pm GMT) on Saturday in Main Market Square in Krakow’s Old Town before being wounded by armed police.
The victims were four women and two men: four Polish, one British and one Austrian, while around 15 others were injured. The gunman’s father, mother and sister were later found dead at his home.
The gunman, a 24-year-old Polish man, died in hospital today (9 November). Early investigations suggest he was inspired by ‘far-right ideologies’.
