In brief
After a fatal shooting in Krakow’s Main Market Square, police found three additional bodies in the gunman’s home—two women and a man. Prime Minister Donald Tusk described the scene as a "truly exceptional tragedy." The incident has prompted a large investigative effort involving the police, the justice ministry, and top officials.
Police in Krakow announced that they had found three more bodies in the house of the gunman who killed six people and injured fifteen in the Main Market Square last week. The victims were identified as two women and a man, and authorities say they appear to be close relatives of the accused shooter.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk said the discovery was "a truly exceptional tragedy" and that the finding raised serious questions about the shooter’s background. Tusk spoke to the press in Warsaw, adding that the investigation was being monitored closely by government officials.
"We have confirmation. Two women and a man died in the criminal’s home. This is a truly exceptional tragedy. There are many signs that they are members of his immediate family," Tusk said.
Special police teams seized a large quantity of firearms and ammunition from the shooter’s car during the initial raid. Police spokesman Katarzyna Cislo confirmed that the gunman was wearing military clothing and used a military‑type long gun. He was arrested at the intersection of Dietla and Stradom Streets.
The deadly incident, which began Saturday night, left six people dead, including three police officers, and fifteen wounded, many of whom were civilians. Regional police authorities say the shooter fired at random people while driving, and there is no evidence of a second perpetrator.
Investigation officials including Justice Minister Waldemar Zurek are keeping the public informed and urging citizens to avoid interfering with the evidence collection. The president, the head of the National Security Bureau, and government’s deputy prime minister are also involved in oversight of the inquiry.
