A young man fascinated by the extreme right: this is how the Polish Government defines the Krakow gunman

An armed young man who killed four women and two men in the city of Krakow this Saturday and would also have ended the lives of three more people found dead in his home - apparently relatives - was fascinated by far-right ideology, according to Interior Minister Marcin Kierwinski, during a press conference.

“Everything indicates that the shooter was influenced by far-right ideology, an aspect that will also be the subject of investigation,” Kierwinski said.

The gunman, however, did not display any symbol of ultra movements nor did he discriminate in the choice of his victims, even though at least one of them had traveled to Krakow to visit the nearby Auschwitz extermination camp. He would simply have fired indiscriminately on a crowd made up mostly of tourists.
