A man fired on people in the street in the tourist centre of Kraków, in southern Poland, on Saturday, according to RTP. At least six people were killed and 15 were wounded in the attack.

Among the injured is a Portuguese citizen, who is being treated in hospital, RTP reports. No further details on her condition were given in the reporting.

The shooting took place in the city's main square, according to Folha de S.Paulo, which described the area as Kraków's principal plaza. The BBC, citing early information, reported five dead and more than ten wounded, while Euronews put the toll at five dead and several injured. RTP's figure of six dead and 15 wounded was the highest in the reporting reviewed.

Vatican News reported that the Church responded to the attack, with a statement declaring that "hatred will not have the last word." The remark was carried in the outlet's coverage of the shooting.

Polish authorities have not yet provided a full account of the incident in the material available. Details of the attacker's identity, motive and whether he was detained were not included in the reporting.

What to watch next: Polish police and prosecutors are expected to release further information on the suspected gunman and on the condition of the wounded, including the Portuguese citizen.
