York Teenager, 19, Named After Being Shot by Rampaging Gunman in Poland
Harry Marchant, 19, remains in stable condition after the Krakow attack that killed six people and wounded about 16, police said.
On Saturday, a gunman opened fire in Krakow's Main Market Square, killing six people and injuring 16 others, including 19-year-old Harry Marchant from York, who remains in stable condition.
Polish police identified the gunman as 24-year-old Michal OksiDski, who reportedly killed three relatives at his home before the attack; authorities suspect he was inspired by 'far-right ideologies'.
The shooter used a semi-automatic AR-15 rifle during the three-minute attack before being wounded in a shootout with officers Artur MoraDski and Jakub Kulik; OksiDski died in hospital on Monday.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk described the event as a 'truly exceptional tragedy,' while Marchant's family expressed gratitude for medical care in Poland and York City Football Club wished the teenager a speedy recovery.
Investigators recovered 11 weapons from the suspect's property, including two AR-15 rifles, and police discovered a Gadsden flag and large quantities of ammunition at his family home.
