Michał Oksiński, the 24-year-old perpetrator of a mass shooting in Krakow, Poland, died from his wounds on November 9, 2026. He killed nine people and wounded 15 others. The motive remains unknown.
Michał Oksiński, a 24-year-old who carried out the Krakow shooting spree on Saturday, killing 9 people, died today from his wounds in the hospital. He was hospitalized in critical condition after being neutralized by two police officers in the main square, underwent surgeries, but his condition remained critical. His death was confirmed at 4:30 AM. A Gadsden flag, a yellow flag with a snake and the inscription 'Don't Tread on Me,' used as a libertarian symbol and also adopted by far-right groups, was found in his home. However, Polish authorities have retreated from the initial claim that Oksiński acted out of far-right ideology and now admit there is no evidence for this. The investigation continues, with attempts to break into his electronic devices. The two officers who neutralized him, Jakub Kulik and Artur Murański, have regained consciousness and will be declared honorary citizens of Krakow. A fundraising campaign for them has raised $1.5 million.
