Poland: Investigation reveals attacker researched Anders Breivik
Polish authorities are investigating potential far-right extremist motives in the mass shooting that occurred in Krakow's main square. Justice Minister Waldemar Zurek announced that investigators accessed the computer of the 24-year-old perpetrator, Michal Oksinski, and found evidence that he visited websites related to Anders Breivik, the Norwegian terrorist responsible for the 2011 attacks.
During the investigation, police discovered a suppressor, four weapons, and a large quantity of ammunition in the attacker's vehicle. In his family home in Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, authorities found the bodies of his father, mother, and sister, whom he is also accused of killing.
The shooting, which took place on November 7, resulted in the deaths of six people in the square and left several others injured, including two police officers. Oksinski died in the hospital on Monday after being shot by police during his arrest. Investigators are also examining a Gadsden flag found in his room and exploring whether he had any accomplices or ideological influences that contributed to the attack.
