   Three bodies found at Kraków shooter's home, raising death toll to 9

   Police found three bodies at the home of the suspect in the Kraków market-square shooting, adding three deaths to the six reported after the attack. The gunman fired from a car in the city’s main square, a major tourist centre. Reports put the number wounded at 15 or 16. The suspect, 24, was described by authorities as having far-right or ultranationalistic views, and police said he aimed at random people. The bodies found at his home were identified in one report as his parents and sister.

   Why it matters

   The attack on Saturday in the southern Polish city has prompted national mourning and tighter security. Investigators linked the suspect to far-right ideology, while authorities described him as fascinated by far-right ideas. The additional deaths at his home deepen questions about the suspect’s alleged preparations and the sequence of violence before the shooting.
