Poland remains in shock over the tragedy that unfolded on Saturday afternoon in Krakow when 24-year-old Michał Oksinski opened fire and killedsix people aged 32 to 61, while earlier, as it turned out, he had murdered his father, mother, and sister.
The 24-year-old was stopped by two police officers who, as shown in the video below, took advantage of the moment when the 24-year-old’s car collided with another vehicle.

The footage shows the two police officers getting out of their patrol car and engaging in a near-point-blank gunfight with Oksinski. Although both were struck by the 24-year-old’s gunfire, one of them managed to shoot him and subdue him.

Investigators are looking into the motives
Meanwhile, the Kraków Prosecutor’s Office has launched an investigation into Saturday’s events, classifying the case as “terrorism.”
As reported, at the home where the 24-year-old lived in the Ostrowiec Sfiedokski area—where his parents and sister were found dead— a significant quantity of ammunition and eleven firearms were seized.
Convinced that the perpetrator acted alone, Polish investigators are attempting to construct his psychological profile and determine the motives that led him to carry out the attack in Kraków, with Polish Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński, describing the 24-year-old as a person with “ultranationalist” views. “Everything indicates that he was fascinated by far-right ideology,” he added.
Oksinski had no prior criminal record. Every Sunday, he would go with his father to a shooting range to improve his marksmanship skills, though a representative of the club denied that he had been taught tactical and military shooting techniques there.
