Polish police found three bodies on Saturday night (7) at the home of the man arrested on suspicion of opening fire hours earlier in the main square of Kraków, the country's second-largest city. The attack left six dead and 16 wounded, DW reported.
According to Prime Minister Donald Tusk, the bodies, of two women and a man, are believed to be close relatives of the suspect. They were found at his residence in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, about 200 kilometers from Kraków, where authorities suspected there might be explosives. Tusk said the police, security services and prosecutors will do everything possible to quickly clarify the gunman's motive.
Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński described the attacker as a 25-year-old Pole fascinated by far-right ideas, but cautioned that this point still needs to be investigated. The man had a legal gun license and no police record.
According to DW, the man was wearing a military uniform and carrying extra ammunition at the time of the attack. Several of the wounded are in critical condition, among them a police officer hit by three shots. At least one of the dead is believed to be a foreigner, and five of the wounded are from other countries, including one person from Portugal.
