At least five people have been killed and 12 others wounded in a shooting in the historic centre of Krakow city, southern Poland.
The shooting occurred on Saturday, near the city's Main Market Square, one of Poland's busiest tourist destinations.
A police spokesperson said that a car from which shots were being fired at random people had entered the square at about 1400 GMT.
"As a result of the incident, five people were killed, and around a dozen others were wounded," a Krakow police spokesperson said, adding that the gunman was "neutralised" by police officers and transported to hospital.
"The perpetrator was shot by police officers and is currently being transported to a hospital," police wrote on X.
Polish police also said that the shooter used a long military-type firearm and was dressed in military style.
Polish broadcaster TVN24 reported the casualty figures, citing the fire brigade.
According to RMF FM radio, attackers travelling in a vehicle along Slawkowska Street toward the main square fired at people in the area.
The broadcaster reported damage to a shop and a tram.
Emergency services responded to the scene, with an air ambulance helicopter landing in the square.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk said police were investigating the shooting and that he was receiving updates from his interior ministry.
Justice Minister Waldemar Zurek wrote on X that "prosecutors, police and all the relevant services are already working at the scene".
He vowed that authorities would "ensure that the perpetrator of this crime is held fully accountable and severely punished".
Police did not immediately advance any potential motives for the gunman.
The country was on high alert following a series of stabbings in October, which Tusk at the time denounced as part of a "cult of violence".
