Poland gunman fascinated by Norway’s neo-Nazi mass killer Breivik

The suspect in the deadly November 7 Krakow shooting looked up the white supremacist who killed dozens in Norway in 2011, Poland’s justice minister says. A Polish man who opened fire in Krakow city’s main square and killed six people on Saturday visited websites about Norwegian white-supremacist killer Anders Behring Breivik , according to Poland’s justice minister. Waldemar Zurek said on Tuesday that there was “a very strong indication of right-wing extremism” behind the gunman’s actions that shook the nation on November 7 .

Investigators also found in his possessions a Gadsden flag – a US Civil War-era flag featuring a rattlesnake on a yellow background that is often linked to the US far right, the minister added. Prosecutors named the suspect as 24-year-old factory worker Michal Oksinski . He died in hospital on Monday after being shot and arrested by police minutes after they said he opened fire from his car in Krakow’s historic main square, a popular tourist destination.

The bodies of Oksinski’s father, mother and sister were found in their family home on Saturday.
