He was unsociable and wore black: what is known about the shooter from Krakow.
Neighbors describe Michal O., the suspect in yesterday's attack in the center of Krakow, as a withdrawn and strange person. He hardly spoke to anyone, rarely said hello, and usually walked around with a hood over his head. One of the neighbors, in a conversation with the Polish publication Paket, recalled that he was the only one in the family who never smiled and always wore black clothes.
At the same time, his parents made a completely different impression: their neighbors called them cheerful and sociable people. Father and son shared a hobby - they went to the range together every Sunday. Therefore, the presence of weapons in the house did not surprise those who knew the family.
According to the Polish media, 24-year-old Michal O. lived in the city of Ostrowicz Swiotrzyski, has a gun permit and has not attracted the attention of the police in the past. He did not serve in the army, although he was wearing a military uniform at the time of the attack. Additional weapons and a large amount of ammunition were found in his car.
Polish authorities said the man may have had far-right views, although the information is still being verified. The investigation still believes that he acted alone.
On Saturday, the shooter drove a car into Krakow's central square and opened fire on passers-by. Six people were killed and 15 were injured. During the arrest, a shootout took place in which the suspect and two police officers were injured. The Polish government classified the attack as a terrorist act.
The bodies of three people were later found in the house of the shooter's parents - his father, mother and sister. The investigators are investigating whether Michal or herself was involved in their murder. If confirmed, the total number of victims will be nine people.
