Kraków shooting kills six as terrorism probe opens

Polish prosecutors opened a terrorism investigation after a shooting in Kraków’s Main Market Square killed six people and injured 15, while police identified three people found dead at the suspect’s family home as his parents and sister. Investigators said they were examining whether the 24-year-old suspect was responsible for all nine deaths.

The shooting took place on Saturday, November 7. The suspect, a Polish man, was wounded by police and remained in critical condition in hospital on Sunday, under police guard. Prosecutors were waiting for doctors to determine when he could be questioned. He had not been formally detained because of his medical condition.

Prosecutor Tomasz Waszczuk said prosecutors were preparing six murder charges related to the deaths in the square. The number could rise to nine if investigators establish that the suspect also killed his relatives. Police said the bodies found at the family home in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski were those of his 53-year-old father, 52-year-old mother and 21-year-old sister. Prosecutors described the suspected connection between the deaths as highly likely, but the investigation is continuing.
