The 7 November shooting in Krakow killed nine people, including six people shot dead in the market square and three relatives of the suspect found at his home. Prime Minister Donald Tusk called the attack a terrorist act and Poland declared several days of national mourning.
A search of the home of the suspect in the Krakow shooting uncovered three more bodies, two women and a man described as his relatives, bringing the death toll from the attack to nine, Le Soleil reports. The shooting had left six people dead in the market square in Krakow's historic centre and about 15 injured.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk described the attack as an act of terrorism. The investigation is focusing on the possibility of a lone attacker influenced by far-right ideologies, while Poland has declared several days of national mourning.
The attacker, who was wearing military fatigues and a helmet and was armed with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, was injured during an exchange of fire with law enforcement officers and then hospitalised, according to Le Soleil.
