The sixth person killed in the Krakow shooting was an Austrian citizen. This was announced by the head of the Malopolska voivodeship Krzysztof Klenchar, reports Wirtualna Polska.

"I can confirm that the 51-year-old woman, the sixth victim of the attack, is an Austrian citizen," Klenchar said.

Other victims included three women aged 47, 53 and 61 and a man of about 50, all of whom were Polish citizens. Another victim was a 32-year-old British citizen.

Klenchar said there were 16 victims in Krakow's six hospitals, 14 of them stable. Two others are in serious and critical condition. One of them is a police officer wounded in the arrest of the shooter, the other is the suspect himself.

Both victims of police custody came out of a coma and remain under the supervision of doctors. Visits and other activities with their participation are not yet allowed.

On November 7, a man drove into the Main Market Square in the center of Krakow and opened fire on passers-by. The shooting killed six people, another 16 were injured. Among the dead and injured were citizens of five countries: Britain, Austria, Germany, Russia and Portugal.

After chasing the car, police detained the shooter. During the detention, law enforcement officers wounded the man, and then took him to the hospital. According to the Polish Interior Ministry, the attacker acted alone and held extremely radical views.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said the bodies of two women and a man had been found in the detainee’s home. It turned out that the dead were his sister and parents.

Tusk called the incident a terrorist attack. Poland declared national mourning on November 8 and 9.
