Story summary

On November 7, 2026, a gunman opened fire in Kraków’s Main Market Square, killing six people and injuring at least 15 others. The suspect, a 25-year-old Polish man with far-right views, used military weapons during the attack before driving to his family home in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, where police found three dead bodies—likely close members of his family—including his sister Magdalena Oksińska and his parents. Among the victims was British teenager Harry Marchant, who is being treated for a gunshot wound, and Polish artist Izabela Woźna, described as an "exceptional" painter from Chodzież. The U.S. Consulate in Kraków has advised American tourists to avoid the famed Main Market Square due to ongoing security concerns.
