Polish police raid the home of a man who drove into a busy Krakow square and opened fire killing six and injuring 15 others before police shot and wounded him.

The attack, which Poland's defence minister described as an "act of terror," happened in Main Square, which is in the heart of Krakow's Old Town and is a major tourist hub in the country's second-largest city.

Four women and two men were killed in the Krakow attack. At least three of the women were Polish, and one of the dead was a UK citizen,

authorities said. Police were still trying to identify the other two people who were killed.

Polish authorities said a total of 13 people were hospitalised The injured included two police officers and the gunman.

One officer was in serious condition. The gunman underwent surgery.

Speaking at a news conference Saturday Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk called for national solidarity for the victims and their families following the shooting saying there was no room for political games in the aftermath of the tragedy.

At a briefing Poland's interior minister said the 25-year-old attacker drove to multiple spots in the square and opened fire at each stop with an automatic weapon.

He did not reveal the gunman's name but said, "Everything indicates that he was fascinated by far-right ideologies."

Krakow's mayor said the city will be in official mourning until Wednesday.
