- A gunman opened fire in Krakow, Poland's second-largest city, killing six people and wounding fifteen others, according to a CBS News video report. The outlet reported that police called the attack a "terror attack."

CBS News reported that six people were killed and fifteen others were wounded. Its summary of the video did not break down the casualties further or say how many of the injured remained in hospital.

The CBS News report did not identify the gunman or say whether anyone had been arrested. It also did not describe a motive or say whether police had linked the attack to any group.

The account of the attack rests on a single source, the CBS News video report, and no other outlet's reporting was available for comparison. Because only one outlet describes the attack, the details reported here cannot be checked against other accounts.

CBS News did not state when the shooting took place, and this story does not supply a time beyond what the source provides. The summary also did not say where in Krakow the shooting occurred.

According to CBS News, the "terror attack" label came from police. The summary did not say what evidence police cited in applying it.

The CBS News report does not cover the gunman's identity, the circumstances of the shooting, or the response of authorities. Those matters are absent from the available reporting.

CBS News described Krakow as Poland's second-largest city, a description repeated here as the outlet gave it. No other details about the city or the attack were included in the report.
