What happened

  • A gunman killed six people and wounded at least 15, including two police officers, in Krakow’s Main Market Square on Saturday, authorities said.
  • Footage shows an officer shooting the suspect as he lies on the ground; police said the gunman survived and was arrested and hospitalized.
  • Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński said the suspect, a Polish citizen, held radical, ultranationalist views and was fascinated by far-right ideologies.
  • Prime Minister Donald Tusk later said three more people were found dead at the suspect’s home, most likely members of his family.
  • Police are investigating the circumstances of the attack and were still working to identify two of those killed in the square.

How the left told it

Left-leaning outlets focused on the deadly attack and officials’ descriptions of the suspect’s far-right views. The Boston Globe highlighted those views in its headline, while The Guardian, Los Angeles Times and PBS quoted the interior minister’s assessment and the defense minister’s description of an “act of terror.”

How the right told it

Right-leaning outlets generally focused on the casualties, random targeting and police response. Fox News emphasized the attack on a “European tourist hotspot,” while the New York Post highlighted “shocking footage” of police shooting the suspect. The Washington Examiner also reported police assurances that the gunman acted alone and the public was safe.
