## Summary

Thousands of people joined a silent march through central Krakow on Monday to remember those killed and injured in a weekend shooting. Poland’s president and prime minister, political rivals, led the procession in a rare public show of unity as the attack shook the country’s strong sense of safety.

The alleged gunman, 24-year-old Michal Oksinski, died in hospital after a shoot-out with police. Investigators have not established a motive or confirmed an ideological connection; they are examining his electronic devices, clothing badges and a Gadsden flag found in his bedroom. Six victims have died, including a Polish painter and mother of four, while a British citizen and an Austrian victim have not yet been publicly named.
