Police confirm death of Krakow mass shooting suspect
Polish authorities said the 24-year-old gunman who killed six people in Krakow's main square has died in hospital, and the investigation will continue.
Polish police announced on Monday that the 24-year-old suspect in the Krakow mass shooting, which left six dead on Saturday, died while receiving treatment in hospital. The shooter was shot by police and taken into custody minutes after opening fire from his car in the historic main square.
Government spokesman Adam Szlapka told TVN24 that officials will refrain from commenting further until the investigation is complete, despite earlier suggestions that the attack might have been motivated by far-right ideology. Justice Minister Waldemar Zurek said the probe will continue to determine whether the gunman acted alone or was influenced by any group, adding that evidence is being collected but will not be disclosed.
An interior ministry spokeswoman said that various symbols found on the suspect’s clothing have been partially examined and interpreted, but no definitive conclusions have been reached.
