Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said at a crisis response meeting: "There are strong indications that they are immediate family members of the gunman." And because there may be a security threat at the scene, the police first used drones to check the inside of the gunman's residence. Tusk said: "We know that there may be a large number of weapons stored in the house."
Polish Interior Minister Marcin Kierwinski said: "All evidence shows that the suspect was influenced by far-right ideology, and the matter will also be included in the investigation."
