Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has ordered a comprehensive review of the nation's gun regulations following the country's first mass shooting, which occurred in Krakow last week. The incident, which resulted in nine deaths, has prompted Tusk to call for a "responsible and methodical" analysis of laws governing firearm permits and shooting range operations. A 24-year-old perpetrator used a semi-automatic rifle to attack a crowd on Saturday, killing six people and injuring over a dozen others.
The shooter, who also murdered his parents and sister, died from his injuries on Monday. Authorities are investigating the motives, with Prosecutor General Waldemar Zurek noting a "very strong" indication that the attacker was inspired by far-right extremism, as evidenced by his visits to pages linked to Norwegian neo-Nazi Anders Breivik. Tusk emphasized the need to ensure Poland remains a safe country, stating, "It’s the first such case and let’s make sure it’s the last one.".
