The attacker who carried out the shooting in central Kraków died in the morning of 9 November in the hospital. Polish investigators will continue to establish the motives for the crime and any possible connections of the suspect despite his death.
This was stated to PAP by prosecutor Eric Staszelak of the National Public Prosecutor's Office of Poland.
According to the prosecutor, the death of Michał Oksiński makes it impossible to carry out procedural actions directly against him. In particular, this concerns bringing charges and choosing a preventive measure.
At the same time, the investigation will continue because it is at an early stage. Investigators must interview all identified witnesses, collect and analyze evidence to determine the attacker’s motives and any possible connections.
Otherwise, the proceedings will continue because we are at an early stage. At present the proceedings have been underway for less than 24 hours, and there is a great deal of evidence to analyze
the prosecutor said.
As clarified by Malopolska police spokeswoman Katarzyna Cisło, Michał Oksiński died in a medical facility at approximately 4:30. Doctors had described his condition as critical from the moment he was hospitalized after the shooting.
Krzysztof Jan Kleczar, the voivode of the Lviv? Malopolska Voivodeship, confirmed that the suspect died in the hospital despite prolonged attempts by surgeons to save his life.
The victim’s condition from the moment he was brought to the hospital was severe; it was assessed as critical. Despite several operations — we know there were at least three — at 4:30 his death was pronounced, and that is information I can confirm
the voivode said.
As already reported on our site, the attack occurred on 7 November at Kraków’s Main Market Square. The 24-year-old shooter drove a car onto the square and opened fire with automatic weapons at passersby, killing six people and injuring 16 others.
Recall, we previously wrote that among the wounded were two police officers, one of whom remains in serious condition. Overall, hospitals in the city continue to provide care to 15 wounded.
