Krakow shooting: Thousands join silent march to honor victims

Krakow shooting Michal Oksinski Donald Tusk Karol Nawrocki Poland mass shooting

Tens of thousands of people participated in a silent march through Krakow on Monday evening to honor the victims of a fatal shooting that occurred on Saturday, November 7. The procession was led by Polish President Karol Nawrocki, Prime Minister Donald Tusk, and Krakow Mayor Lukasz Gibala, marking a rare moment of political unity between the two rivals.

The attack, which took place in the Main Market Square, involved a 24-year-old man, Michal Oksinski, who opened fire from a vehicle using an automatic weapon. The incident resulted in at least six deaths and between 15 and 16 injuries, including two police officers. The suspect died in the hospital on Monday morning following a shootout with police.

Investigations revealed a grim domestic connection: the attacker's parents and sister were found dead in their home in Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, presumably killed by the suspect. While initial reports suggested far-right ideological motivations, the Prosecutor General's office stated it is too early to confirm a specific motive, though a Gadsden flag was reportedly found at the scene.

President Nawrocki has declared two days of national mourning. In Krakow, local mourning continues through November 11. Authorities have also honored the two police officers who intervened during the attack with the Order of Polonia Restituta.
