Prosecutors in Poland have opened a terrorism investigation following fatal shootings, according to reports published on 8 November. Notes from Poland reported that a total of nine people have died 1.
Al Jazeera's coverage reported that a terrorism investigation had been launched after government officials said the suspect was likely influenced by far-right ideology 2. The excerpt available does not name the officials or give further detail on what the assessment was based on.
The accounts differ on the number of victims. Notes from Poland said nine people had died 1, while the headline of the Al Jazeera article refers to six people killed 2. It is not clear from the material whether the discrepancy reflects a rising toll over time or a difference in what each outlet counted.
An earlier report logged on 7 November described a gunman opening fire in Main Market Square in central Kraków, with preliminary reports of five dead. That report was assessed as corroborated . The excerpts from the two articles do not state where the shootings they describe took place, so it cannot be confirmed from them that they refer to the same incident.
No information is available in the material on the identity of the suspect, whether the person is in custody, the number of people injured, or the specific charges being considered. The far-right influence claim comes from government officials as relayed by Al Jazeera and has not been independently verified here 2.
