Polish authorities continue investigating the Krakow shooting that left six dead and up to 16 injured, alongside three bodies found at the suspect's family residence.

Polish law enforcement authorities are continuing their investigation into Saturday's mass shooting in central Krakow, where a 24-year-old gunman killed six people and injured up to 16 others before being critically wounded by responding police officers.

Following the public attack, investigators searched the suspect's residence in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, located approximately 200 kilometers from Krakow. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed that drone imagery helped officers identify three deceased individuals inside the property—believed to be the suspect's parents and sister.

Local authorities in Krakow have declared an official period of mourning extending through November 11 as police work to determine the gunman's motives. Some reports indicate potential links between the suspect and far-right groups.
