British DJ named among six killed in Krakow shooting

A British DJ has been identified as one of six people killed in a mass shooting at Krakow's Main Market Square. James Thomas Campbell, 32, from Prestwick in Ayrshire, was among those shot dead by Michał Oksiński on Saturday, November 7.

Shooting in Krakow's Main Market Square

The attack took place at around 3.30pm local time on November 7, when the gunman opened fire in the busy market square. Oksiński had earlier killed his sister and parents at the family's apartment in the town of Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski before travelling to Krakow to carry out the firearms attack.

Prosecutor's statement on the gunman

Poland's national prosecutor's office has since stated that the 24-year-old former military cadet was “fascinated by extreme ideologies”. The statement offers insight into the possible motivations behind the shootings, though further details have not been released.
