A gunman opened fire in Krakow's market square, killing six people, including a British citizen, according to Sky News. The attack took place on Sunday, 8 November 2026, and the broadcaster described the assailant as a "far-right" gunman.
The Telegraph reports that the suspected shooter is a military cadet. The Guardian also confirms that a Briton was among the six people killed when the gunman opened fire in the Kraków market square. The BBC and ITVX both report that a British citizen was among the dead, and ITVX notes that investigations are continuing.
Sky News was first to report the death toll and the description of the attacker. Details of the victims beyond the confirmation of a British national have not been released in the reporting available.
The location — Krakow's main market square — is a central public space in the city, though the reporting does not provide further detail on the circumstances of the shooting or how events unfolded.
Polish authorities have not issued statements included in the source material, and no motive has been confirmed beyond Sky News's description of the gunman as "far-right."
What to watch next: official statements from Polish police and prosecutors on the suspect's identity, charges and any confirmed motive, along with updates on the identification of the victims.
