Michal Oksinski was named after a shooting in central Krakow that left six people dead on Saturday. Among them was James Thomas Campbell, a 32-year-old Scottish DJ from Prestwick in South Ayrshire.
The attack began shortly before 15:00 local time, when a gunman drove into Main Market Square and fired at random people from his car. Armed officers engaged him within three minutes, and 15 people were injured, including two police officers.
Police Scotland and the family
Det Ch Insp David McAlinden said Police Scotland was "aware of the tragic death of a Scottish man in Krakow" and added: "Working in conjunction with COPFS )the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service), Police Scotland is supporting the UK counter-terrorism policing network and the Polish authorities." He also said: "The immediate shared priority is to ensure that identification is properly established for the family, so that repatriation can take place as quickly as possible."
Police Scotland said formal identification was yet to be carried out even though James Thomas Campbell is understood to have died in the Krakow shooting. The family has asked for privacy, and Police Scotland said it was providing specialist support while working with UK and Polish authorities.
Krakow shooting and the attacker
Local media named the attacker as Michal Oksinski, who died in hospital on Monday. Police said Michal Oksinski also fatally shot four Polish citizens and one Austrian woman, and later found the bodies of the gunman's parents and sister at his address on Saturday.
For the family in Prestwick, the next step is the formal identification that allows repatriation to move forward. Until that process is complete, James Thomas Campbell remains the Scottish victim at the center of the Krakow shooting, and Police Scotland's support now runs alongside the Polish investigation.
