On Saturday, 7 November, a 24‑year‑old man drove a vehicle onto Kraków’s Main Square and opened fire on random pedestrians. The police pursued him, and he was wounded during the exchange of fire. He died in hospital on Monday. The attack left six people dead and 15 injured, including two police officers. Investigations have revealed that the attacker’s home in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski contained the bodies of his parents and sister, all of whom suffered gunshot wounds. According to the Ministry of the Interior and Administration, nine individuals have been arrested for praising the attacker. The Ministry’s spokesperson, Karolina Gałecka, said that the online activity of those arrested could have posed a potential threat. The arrested persons had glorified the Kraków attack and made threatening posts, including statements that they would repeat the act in another city. RMF FM reported that authorities examined the internet activity of the suspects, including a “silencer in a car” and browsing history related to Anders Breivik. These findings are part of the latest developments in the investigation of the Saturday massacre.
