Victims found in the apartment — dead on site

At the attacker’s apartment, authorities found three bodies: the father (53), the mother (52), and the sister (20), ANSA stated. The victims showed gunshot wounds, and initial assessments suggest they probably died as a result of those injuries. Criminal investigators continue to examine the scene and the sequence of events inside the residence.

In addition, five people were admitted to Krakow University Hospital; three of those admitted were in a grave state. Hospital teams remain in emergency mode to treat the injured and monitor possible complications.

Call for blood donations — officer hailed as a “hero”

ANSA reports that an official made a public call for blood donations to support police officer Jakub Kulik, described as a “hero” for facing the attacker. The same source said Kulik has one lung compromised and that specific blood types were requested. Another injured officer, Sergeant Artur Morański, also received care; both participated in the attacker’s arrest. Authorities and hospital institutions issued blood donation appeals to ensure sufficient stocks for medical care.

Relevance for Brazilians and descendants — no direct connection yet

So far, coverage does not indicate any direct link between the attack and Brazilian citizens or descendants of Italians, nor does it foresee specific impacts for this audience, according to ANSA.

Investigation status and next steps

Local authorities continue the investigation to establish the attack’s motive, possible background of the author, and familial connections that might explain the deaths of the three people found in the apartment. Forensic examinations and interviews with involved parties are expected in the next steps. Police are also evaluating images, statements, and records that could illuminate the chronology of events.

Conclusion: the Krakow episode remains under investigation with victims dead at home, several injured, and the attacker gravely wounded in medical custody. Authorities have issued public calls for blood donations to support the immediate care of injured officers.
