Krakow shooting: Six dead and dozens injured in mass attack
A mass shooting occurred on November 7, 2026, in Krakow, Poland, when a 24-year-old gunman drove a vehicle into the Main Market Square and opened fire on pedestrians. The attack resulted in six deaths and 16 injuries, including two police officers, Jakub Kulik and Artur Morański, who were wounded during the exchange of gunfire. The perpetrator, identified as Michał Oksiński, died in the hospital on Monday.
In Ostrowiec Świętokrzyskie, three additional victims were found dead at the suspect's residence. Authorities are investigating the motives, noting that the suspect had isolated himself and showed an interest in violence and terrorism. Investigators recovered four firearms, including two AR-15 rifles, and approximately 500 rounds of ammunition.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk has pledged extraordinary state assistance for the victims and their families. In response to the tragedy, the Polish government has announced an analysis of firearm regulations, including potential requirements for more frequent psychological and medical examinations for gun owners. Meanwhile, Krakow has entered a period of mourning through November 11, with traditional Independence Day celebrations canceled.
