The Krakow Prosecutor’s Office has opened an investigation into terrorism after yesterday’s shooting in which 6 people died and fifteen were injured. Tvn24 reports it. The Prosecutor’s Office seized a significant quantity of ammunition and seven firearms.
The shooting occurred in the heart of the city
The suspect in the shooting that took place yesterday afternoon in the center of Krakow, Poland, which cost the lives of at least six people, is a 25-year-old Polish citizen. Sixteen people were injured (five foreigners), including some police officers.

Tusk: “Three bodies found in the house of the Krakow attacker”
The bodies of three people, the parents and sister of the attacker, have been identified in the house of the Krakow attacker, who today killed 6 people and injured 15 others. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said this during tonight’s press conference. Tusk then added that the entire house was evacuated for service inspections on suspicion that other weapons and/or explosives could be found inside.
“An act of terrorism”
The Polish Prime Minister defined the massacre carried out in Krakow by a man “fascinated by far-right ideologies” as an act of “terrorism”.
«In Poland we have never encountered such radical cases of terrorism – because this is precisely how we must define this atrocious attack on the lives of people here in Krakow», declared Donald Tusk again
Police: No other suspects wanted
In the first hours the Krakow police reported, based on preliminary information, that there could be two perpetrators. With a subsequent note, the Lesser Poland police denied the search for a second perpetrator: “The only known perpetrator of the event is in the hands of the police.” The news of the death of an agent was also denied. Polish Interior Minister Marcin Kierwinski said the perpetrator of today’s deadly shooting in Krakow was “fascinated by far-right ideologies” and held “very radical positions.” Among the six dead in the shooting that took place today in Krakow there appears to be “a foreign citizen”.
The attacker shot by the officers
The young man was wearing a military camouflage uniform. The attack took place shortly after 3pm. The attacker was shot by police near the intersection of Stradomska and Dietla streets, before being transported to a hospital in Krakow, where according to Polish media he underwent surgery and is in critical condition. The reasons for the attack remain unknown.
