Polish prosecutors find no far right links to fatal Krakow shooting

Polish prosecutors reported that there is no evidence connecting a gunman who allegedly killed six people in Krakow to the far-right. The assailant, identified by prosecutors as Michal Oksinski, shot his parents and sister at home before opening fire on people in the historic main square of Krakow on Saturday. [1]

The gunman shot his parents and sister with two bullets to the head each while they slept, and he also killed their two cats, according to the Daily Mail. Police officers shot and arrested the gunman minutes after he opened fire from his car, and he died in hospital from his injuries on Monday morning. [1]

The Telegraph initially reported that the shooting was a far-right terror attack and noted that a British citizen was among the six victims. As FTMQ News reported earlier, initial coverage indicated that a British national was among those killed in the incident. [2][5]

Polish prosecutors stated that very little information has emerged about the gunman, contradicting earlier government claims regarding far-right links. [1]
