Krakow shooting suspect was a member of Starachowice shooting club

The suspect involved in the fatal shooting at Krakow's Main Market Square was a member of the KS Świt shooting club in Starachowice. According to club representative Adam Chyb, the 24-year-old joined the association in 2022, while his father had been a member since 2016.

The club stated that the suspect's training was limited to static sports shooting, noting that the facility does not provide dynamic, tactical, or combat training. Chyb reported that the suspect's behavior at the range never caused concern and his sporting results were average. The suspect's last training sessions, which he attended with his father, took place in August.

The attack in Krakow resulted in six deaths and 16 injuries. Following the incident, the bodies of the suspect's parents and sister were discovered in his apartment in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski. The club has issued a statement expressing condolences to the victims and confirmed they are cooperating fully with law enforcement investigations.
