Six people were killed and 15 injured, including two police officers, in a shooting from a moving vehicle in a square in central Krakow.

The victims included four women and two men, Reuters reported, citing Polish officials.

The attacker drove onto the city's main square and began shooting at random passers-by. He also opened fire on a public transport tram.

The city administration said that shots were fired at a tram from a moving vehicle during the attack, shattering a window in the driver's cab. However, neither the driver nor any passengers were injured.

Police confirmed that the attacker was a Polish citizen. Even after being wounded by police, he continued shooting at them, a police spokeswoman said, the Associated Press reported.

According to her, the 24-year-old attacker was wearing a military uniform and body armor and was armed with a military-style long gun. Police found additional weapons and ammunition in his car.

Police confirmed that he acted alone and that there was no longer any danger to the public.
