A masked assailant then opened fire on pedestrians, causing panic as crowds fled into nearby buildings for safety. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk classified the incident as terrorism following the discovery of three additional bodies at the suspect's residence. President Karol Nawrocki declared two days of national mourning across Poland, with his spokesperson confirming the bodies were likely the gunman's immediate family members. The suspect, identified as 24-year-old Michal O. from Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, was armed with a military uniform and tactical equipment, likely wielding a semi-automatic AR-15 rifle.

Polish President Nawrocki signed a decree for two days of national mourning, with the attack being the first of its kind in Poland's recent history.",
