At least six people have been killed and 15 more wounded when a gunman opened fire from his car in the southern Polish city of Kraków, officials said on Saturday, adding that three more people were found dead at his home.

Police started getting reports of a shooting at around 3 p.m. local time (9 a.m. ET), when the suspect drove into the city’s main market square and started firing randomly, killing four women and two men, Kraków police said.

The alleged attacker was wearing military-style clothing and used military weapons, Police Deputy Inspector Katarzyna Cisło told Polish news outlet TVN24.

He was shot and injured by police and has been transported to the hospital, police said.

    There are videos of the guy. He was in full csmouflage (although some wood pattern, not terribly useful in a city) and wore helmet and bullet proof vest. I happened to see the video before hearing anything about it and my first thought was that it must have been an actual member of the military happening to be around, NOT the shooter. He did look much more like military than you in that picture you provided.
