Neighbor of 24-year-old suspect in Krakow: "No one ever visited him"

A neighbor of the 24-year-old suspect in the Krakow attack — an incident that left six people dead and 15 wounded — told reporters the young man seldom received visitors.

“No one ever visited him,” the neighbor said, describing how the suspect usually left the building alone, wearing a backpack and a hooded sweatshirt.

According to the neighbor, the suspect regularly went to a shooting range with his father about once a week, a detail the neighbor interpreted as a sign of good family relations. He added that the suspect’s sister rarely came to the family home and that he last saw her roughly one month ago.

Authorities and the probe

Polish authorities have said the suspect held far-right views, but investigators have not yet determined any links to an organized extremist group. The prosecutor's office is treating the incident as a terrorist act and continues to examine motive, contacts and the suspect’s background.

Investigators are pursuing forensic leads and witness statements while local residents remain shaken. Officials have not released the suspect’s name; the investigation is ongoing.
