Among the injured is a policeman who was transferred to a military hospital in Kraków. There he underwent a planned hand reconstruction procedure. The voivode emphasized that as the situation improves, information on the health of the injured will be provided less frequently.

The role of the voivode is to communicate in the field of crisis management. More detailed information, regarding health condition or further medical actions, can be provided by hospitals and doctors or the families of the injured, explained Krzysztof Jan Klęczar.

The provincial office continues to monitor the situation and declares its readiness to provide support to those affected. Employees of the social policy departments of three voivodeship offices - because the injured come from three different voivodeships - remain in contact with local governments to collect information about the needs of the injured and the possibilities of providing them with help.

The voivode also assured that the voivodeship office is ready to take assistance measures if such a need arises. The services appeal for patience and understanding for the families of the injured, and detailed information about their health condition will be provided by hospitals and doctors.

As he said, no formal applications for specific support have been received so far, and the employees of the Provincial Office are recognizing the needs of people affected by the tragedy.

We have not yet made any official statement or indication of what kind of help is expected. Talks are ongoing at this point. The team of the Małopolska Provincial Office, led by the director general of the Małopolska Provincial Office, Lucyna Gajda, is in the field and conducting such talks, Klęczar said during a press conference.

The voivode recalled that psychological assistance was provided immediately after the tragic event. He noted that there is currently no information that the injured or their relatives have individually contacted the voivodeship office or other offices asking for specific support. We are prepared, we have this in mind, we are collecting information and we will monitor the situation, he assured.

As he noted, the families of the victims and injured people are currently going through a particularly difficult period. Funerals have begun for those who died, and hospitals are making decisions regarding further treatment of the injured, their possible transfer to other facilities, and rehabilitation plans.

Shooting in Krakow

The tragic attack took place on Saturday afternoon on the Main Market Square in Krakow. A 24-year-old man drove his car onto the market square and then opened fire with an automatic weapon on random passers-by. Six people were killed and 15 injured, including two policemen.

The attacker was shot by officers and died in hospital on Monday morning.

In the perpetrator's vehicle, the police seized four weapons - two AR-15 rifles and two pistols - as well as about five hundred rounds of ammunition. As it was established, the man had a firearms license and had no previous convictions.

In turn, the bodies of three of his relatives were found in the 24-year-old's family apartment in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski: his 53-year-old father, 52-year-old mother and 21-year-old sister. Gunshot injuries were found on the victims' bodies.

The findings of the investigation show that after committing the crime in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, Michał Oksiński went to Krakow.

Open Questions

  • What was the perpetrator's ultimate motive?
