Krakow killer's victims revealed - including his own sister who he executed with two shots to the head in her bed
Polish gunman Michał Oksiński, 24, killed six people and wounded 15 in Krakow, including his own sister and parents found dead at home.
Polish authorities have identified the victims of Saturday's deadly shooting in Krakow's main square, where gunman Michał Oksiński killed six people and wounded 15 others. Among the dead were four women and two men, including foreigners from Britain and Austria.
The 24-year-old attacker had first murdered his family at their home in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, where authorities found the bodies of his parents and sister with two gunshot wounds to each of their heads. The family's two cats were also found dead at the residence.
Victims Identified
One victim has been named as visual artist Izabela Woźna, 53, from Chodzież, who was set to open an art exhibition in Krakow later this week. The mother of four had four children and was described by her mayor as someone who 'derived a great deal of satisfaction from her art and painting.'
She was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The gunman's sister, Magdalena Oksińska, 21, a student at Krakow Academy of Fine Arts, was also killed. Neighbors described her as a 'very talented girl' who had always been a 'good student and a beautiful painter.'
Nothing will be the same again.
Police Response
Two police officers, Artur Morański and Jakub 'Kuba' Kulik, were shot while stopping the gunman. Authorities described their actions as 'heroic.' Both officers remain hospitalized, with Morański emerging from a coma on Sunday afternoon.
The attacker died in hospital on Monday morning after being in critical condition following police intervention. Footage from the scene showed the injured officer stumbling to his feet to continue shooting the gunman.
Aftermath
A fundraiser has been set up to support Woźna's children, while a concert in her memory will be held in her hometown on Thursday. The young artist's work had been exhibited at the Ostrowiec Art Exhibition Office in 2024.
Among the wounded were people from Britain, Portugal, Russia, Germany and Austria. The extra-curricular activity center in Magdalena's hometown remembered her as an 'exceptionally gifted artist' and a 'sensitive, hard-working, modest, and warm person.'
