Police investigate family deaths following mass shooting in Krakow

Polish police found three dead family members at the Krakow shooter's apartment as investigation continues into the attack that left six dead.
Polish authorities have expanded their investigation into Saturday's mass shooting in central Krakow after discovering the bodies of three family members in the 24-year-old suspect's residence. The gunman, who was shot and detained after killing six people and injuring at least 15 others, is currently in custody as police work to establish a motive.
Hospital officials confirmed that all injured victims remain alive following immediate emergency interventions, including first aid provided at the scene by off-duty surgeons dining nearby. Nationwide calls for blood donations continue in support of Officer Jakub Kulik, who was critically injured while neutralizing the suspect. Municipal authorities have begun reopening central Krakow as law enforcement completes initial forensic processing in the area.
