Krakow Attack: Polish Unity on Show in Silent March to Honour Shooting Victims
The march followed a mass shooting that killed six people and prompted an investigation into the gunman’s possible far-right links.
- Thousands marched through Krakow on Monday evening alongside Prime Minister Donald Tusk and President Karol Nawrocki to honor six victims killed in Saturday's mass shooting. Suspect Michal Oksinski died in hospital Monday after police arrested him.
- Prosecutors identified the 24-year-old gunman as Oksinski, who likely killed his parents and sister on Saturday before attacking Krakow's main square. Officials discovered four firearms and ammunition, launching an investigation into potential far-right ideology influences.
- Police officer Artur Moranski regained consciousness and asked, "Is Kuba alive?" referring to fellow injured officer Jakub Kulik. Authorities detained six individuals aged 15 to 36 for posting alarming content online following the attack.
- Law and Justice party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski rejected far-right links as a "blatant lie," while Deputy Prime Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz urged solidarity, saying "we are still capable of cooperating, engaging in dialogue." Government spokesperson Adam Szlapka advised restraint.
- Justice Minister Waldemar Zurek stated the investigation remains active to determine if Oksinski acted alone or was inspired by any group. Officials plan to review gun permit regulations following the tragedy while Zurek discouraged speculation about evidence being collected.
