Parents, sister of far-right Kraków shooter found dead in family home

At least six people were killed and more than a dozen others injured when a gunman with suspected ties to the far-right opened fire in central Kraków, Poland's second-largest city, according to www.thegazette.com. The attack began shortly before 15:00 local time on Saturday in the city's Main Market Square. According to police, the suspect drove into the square and began firing at random people from his car. A passing tram was shot at during the attack, though no passengers were injured. Armed officers engaged the suspect in a gunfight and shot him within three minutes of the attack starting, preventing further loss of life. KCCI reported that the 24-year-old attacker was wearing military-style clothing and a bulletproof vest. The Krakow branch of the National Public Prosecutor's Office announced an investigation into what constitutes a terrorist offence. Prime Minister Donald Tusk noted that three bodies were later found at the gunman's house during a police search. Polish police confirmed those three victims were the suspect's 53-year-old father, 52-year-old mother, and 21-year-old sister. KCCI identified the sister as Magdalena Oksińska, a 21-year-old third-year student at the Krakow Academy of Fine Arts. The suspect's home was located in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, roughly 200km from Kraków according to www.thegazette.com, or about 150 kilometers away according to KCCI. Six people were confirmed killed in central Kraków, comprising four women and two men. www.thegazette.com reported that four victims were Polish, alongside a British national and an Austrian woman. Sixteen people, including five foreigners, two police officers, and the attacker, were taken to hospital. The interior ministry stated the injured were from Austria, Britain, Germany, Portugal, and Russia. Tusk named the injured officers as Senior Constable Jakub Kulik and Senior Constable Artur Morański. Klęczar stated that the attacker's father legally owned more than 10 guns, and local officials said seven weapons were seized from the family home, bringing the total number of recovered firearms to 11. Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński described the suspect's views as radical and ultranationalist, stating that evidence indicated a fascination with far-right ideologies. Kraków Mayor Łukasz Gibała signed an order declaring a period of mourning in the city lasting until Wednesday, November 11. St. Mary’s Trumpet Call was paused overnight in tribute to the victims, which KCCI noted was the first time the call had been missed since World War II. The Main Market Square reopened on Sunday evening for mourners to lay flowers and candles.
