Three relatives were found dead in the home of a gunman described as having “ultranationalistic” beliefs and who fatally shot six people while driving through a public square in Krakow, Poland, officials said, in what the country’s defense minister characterized as a “terror attack” Saturday.

The relatives were found after the shooter opened fire in Krakow’s Main Market Square, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said. Four women and two men were killed in the midday attack in the city’s popular commerce and tourist destination, police said.
