A Scottish man has been confirmed as one of six victims killed in a mass shooting in central Krakow, Poland. BBC News, STV News, The Scotsman, and the Somerset County Gazette all reported that six people died in the attack. The victim is understood to be 32-year-old James Thomas Campbell from Prestwick in South Ayrshire, BBC News reported. [1][4][5][7]

The Times and The Telegraph both identified Campbell as a Scottish DJ. BBC News reported that Campbell worked as a DJ in Ayrshire and added that Police Scotland is currently providing specialist support to his family. Formal identification of the victim has yet to be carried out. [1][2][3]

The gunman opened fire on Saturday, driving through the Main Square in Krakow while shooting from his car. A total of 16 people were injured in the attack. Police later discovered the dead bodies of three members of the suspect's family in their apartment located in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski. [1][9]

Local media named the 24-year-old gunman as Michal Oksinski, BBC News reported. As FTMQ News reported earlier, the suspect died in hospital on Monday following a firefight with police officers. [1][9][10]
