A Scottish man has been confirmed as a victim of Saturday’s shooting in central Kraków, while a British DJ has also been identified among the six people killed, according to separate reports by the BBC and Sky News. The available reporting does not establish whether the two descriptions refer to the same person or to two different victims.
The BBC reported Wednesday that the Scottish man, understood to be James Thomas Campbell from Prestwick, Scotland, died when a lone gunman opened fire in central Kraków, Poland, on Saturday. The broadcaster said he was understood to be Campbell, indicating that the identification details were not presented as fully confirmed.
Sky News separately reported Wednesday that a British DJ had been identified as one of the six people killed. Its report, as available to the desk, did not give the DJ’s name.
It is not clear whether the DJ identified by Sky News was Campbell. The two reports therefore cannot be treated as identifying two separate victims, nor can they be merged into one identification without further confirmation.
The shooting took place in Kraków’s main market square. In its Nov. 9 coverage, The Library reported that six people were killed and 16 injured when the gunman opened fire on Saturday.
Polish police said the 24-year-old Polish suspect later died in hospital. The bodies of the suspect’s father, mother and sister were found at the family home in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, Poland. Those deaths were separate from the six people killed in the shooting in the square.
The latest reports identify British victims but provide no further confirmed information about the nationalities or identities of the other people killed. No additional victim identities are included here.
