The 24-year-old man accused of killing six people in a shooting on Kraków's Main Market Square in Poland on Saturday died in a hospital early Monday, Nov. 9, authorities said.
The gunman, named by media as Michał Oksiński, was shot by two police officers who were seriously wounded in the confrontation, AFP reported. He died after three operations, regional police said.
The bodies of his parents and sister were later found at the family home in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, about 95 miles northeast of Kraków, RFI reported. Prime Minister Donald Tusk called the attack, the deadliest shooting in Poland since 1989, an act of "terrorism."
Victims
A 32-year-old British man and a 51-year-old Austrian woman were among those killed, according to RFI. At least 15 people were wounded, including people from Britain, Austria, Germany, Portugal and Russia, AFP said; The Guardian put the number of injured at 17.
Motive unclear
Poland's interior minister had said the suspect "may have been fascinated by far-right ideologies." On Monday, prosecutors said they had no findings to "categorically state that he was inspired by any particular ideology," AFP reported. A terrorism investigation will continue, and Justice Minister Waldemar Żurek said it aims to find out whether he acted alone, The Guardian reported.
The suspect and his father belonged to a shooting club, and investigators seized 11 firearms, AFP said. The interior ministry announced a review of how gun licenses are granted.
