The attacker’s clothing bore many different emblems, some of which have already been examined and interpreted, Interior Ministry spokeswoman Karolina Gałecka said Monday.

Gałecka, speaking Monday on TOK FM radio about the attack in Kraków, confirmed that the perpetrator died in a hospital Monday morning.

The spokeswoman noted that a great deal of information about the attack itself, as well as a lot of disinformation, has appeared online. “I would very much like to cool emotions, and also neither confirm nor deny the information appearing online about emblems, premises or evidence regarding this perpetrator’s motives,” Gałecka said.

Gałecka said the attacker’s clothing bore many different emblems, “which, of course, have already been partly examined and interpreted.” “There were many emblems and patches connected with various themes, which are currently being examined by specialists (…). However, I would not like to get into a discussion of what they looked like or what they symbolized. All of this is the subject of examination by the prosecutor’s office,” she said.

The spokeswoman stressed that every item of clothing and every piece of evidence is being verified and checked.

According to the prosecutor’s office, autopsies of the six victims of the Kraków attack and of the three people killed in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski were scheduled to begin Monday morning. As prosecutor Eryk Stasielak of the National Prosecutor’s Office told PAP, the examinations may take about two days because of the complex nature of the gunshot wounds.

The investigation into both cases is being conducted by the Lesser Poland branch of the National Prosecutor’s Office. According to investigators’ findings so far, the same person was responsible for both incidents. Prosecutors are investigating the circumstances of the attack in Kraków and the killings of the immediate family members of the 24-year-old attacker in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski.

Before the attacker’s death, prosecutors had said they would analyze the evidence with a view to bringing charges against him and possibly asking a court for pretrial detention. His condition was described at the time as critical.

The attack took place Saturday on the Main Square (Rynek Główny) in Kraków. The 24-year-old man drove a car onto the square and then opened fire with an automatic weapon at random people. Six people were killed and 16 were wounded, including two police officers. The attacker was shot. In the family’s apartment in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, police found the bodies of three of his immediate family members.
