Scottish DJ identified among victims of Krakow shooting
Police confirmed that 32-year-old James Thomas Campbell of Prestwick was killed in the mass shooting in central Krakow, while the 24-year-old gunman also died.
Police Scotland confirmed that James Thomas Campbell, a 32-year-old DJ from Prestwick in South Ayrshire, was among the six people killed when a lone gunman opened fire in central Krakow on Saturday. The attacker, identified by local media as 24-year-old Michał Oksinski, died in hospital on Monday after a gunfight with armed officers.
Police said the gunman drove into the market square and began shooting at random from his vehicle before officers engaged him within three minutes. In addition to the six victims in the square, authorities later discovered the bodies of the gunman's parents and sister at his home.
Police Scotland said it is providing specialist support to Campbell's family and will work to confirm his identity for repatriation. The family has asked for privacy.
"The immediate shared priority is to ensure that identification is properly established for the family, so that repatriation can take place as quickly as possible. The family has asked for their privacy to be respected. Our thoughts are with them and everyone impacted by this incident," a police spokesperson said.
A close friend described Campbell as a quiet and kind person who had been in contact with him shortly before the attack.
