Poland searches for answers as Krakow shooting suspect dies

Polish authorities are investigating the motive behind a mass shooting in Krakow following the death of 24-year-old suspect Michal O. in hospital.
Polish authorities are continuing to search for a motive behind the mass shooting in Krakow following the death of the 24-year-old suspect, Michal O., in hospital on Monday.
The gunman killed six people and injured at least 17 others on Krakow's main square using a civilian variant of a semi-automatic rifle before being critically wounded by police officers. Investigators subsequently discovered the bodies of three people, identified as the suspect's parents and 21-year-old sister, at his family residence. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk described the home discovery as "the next act of this tragedy."
Polish President Karol Nawrocki declared Sunday and Monday as days of national mourning across the country as forensic teams and law enforcement continue examining the suspect's background.
