Kraków Mass Shooting Attacker Dies; Authorities Suspect Right-Wing Motive in Deadly Attack

The mass shooter in Krakow has died. Police reported that he succumbed to his injuries in a hospital on Monday morning.

The incident occurred on Saturday afternoon in downtown Krakow, where the armed man opened fire from inside a vehicle. The attack resulted in the deaths of four women and two men, and left at least 15 other people wounded. The heavily armed perpetrator was eventually stopped by police.

Later, the bodies of three other individuals were discovered at the home of the 24-year-old suspect. According to police, these were his parents and his 21-year-old sister.

Investigators are operating under the theory that this was the act of a lone attacker. Poland’s Minister of Interior, Marcin Kierwinski, has suggested that the motivation behind the violence may be tied to right-wing extremism.
