## Summary

Polish authorities say Michał Oksiński killed six people and injured 15 in a shooting in Kraków on 7 November, after first killing his parents and sister. They have classified the attack as terrorism, but his motive remains unknown; investigators are examining possible far-right links.

Oksiński, 24, worked as a lathe operator and belonged to a shooting club. He held a permit for a rifle and pistol, while his father was licensed for nine other firearms; police found Oksiński with four guns and about 500 rounds. Poland’s justice minister cited visits to websites about Anders Breivik, a Gadsden flag at home and markings at work, but said the extremist motive has not been proven.
