Story summary

On November 7, 2026, a gunman killed six people and wounded around a dozen others in the historic center of Kraków, Poland's second-largest city. The shooter, identified as Michal Oksinski, aged 24, drove a car into Kraków’s main market square just before 3 PM local time and began firing randomly at bystanders. James Thomas Campbell, a 32-year-old Scottish man from Prestwick, was among the victims. The gunman later shot three family members in his home, leaving two women and a man dead there as well, according to Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. Oksinski died in hospital after being shot by police. The attack caused widespread panic, with people fleeing the area and emergency services responding quickly to treat the wounded.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
