KrakówA gunman killed 6 people in the Main Square.
15 million tourists a year cross that square, in a Poland where mass shootings are rare.
He drove in and fired at random from his car, wearing military-style fatigues and carrying a military-type long gun, police said.
Police gave conflicting accounts on accomplices: one spokesperson said he acted alone, another said officers assumed he did not.
Police have given no motive, and Prime Minister Donald Tusk was due to address the country Saturday.
