The gunman who killed six people in Kraków’s historic main square on Saturday has died in hospital, Polish police said early Monday, according to Reuters reporting published by CBC.

Police officers shot and arrested the assailant minutes after he opened fire at people from his car. Authorities described him as a 24-year-old from Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski in southeastern Poland. Little other information about him has been released.

The government said he may have been inspired by far-right ideology, but did not provide further details. His motive remains under investigation.

Interior ministry spokeswoman Karolina Galecka told radio station TOK FM on Monday that specialists were examining emblems on the attacker’s clothing.

“There were many different emblems on the perpetrator’s clothing that have been partially examined and interpreted,” she said.

Galecka said the patches contained various motifs still being analyzed and declined to comment further while the investigation continues.
