A week after the attack on Kraków's Main Market Square on November 7, 10 people remain hospitalized in five hospitals across the city in stable condition, according to the spokesperson for the Małopolska Voivode, while Kraków Mayor Łukasz Gibała has appealed to witnesses to identify places where they found shelter during the attack.

The spokesperson for the Małopolska Voivode, Maksymilian Kosowski, told PAP on Saturday that the condition of the injured had not changed significantly since Friday. At that time, Małopolska Voivode Krzysztof Jan Klęczar reported that the patients' condition was improving. Kosowski added that one patient had since been discharged from the University Hospital.

A week after the tragedy, life in Kraków is gradually returning to normal, although the events remain fresh in public memory. Candles continue to be placed at locations associated with the victims, and passers-by stop to pay their respects. On Saturday, St. Mary's Basilica is scheduled to host a Requiem concert in memory of those who lost their lives.

Kraków Mayor Łukasz Gibała thanked those who spontaneously assisted the injured and supported witnesses following the November 7 attack. He also appealed to people who found refuge during the incident to identify the locations where they received help.

"We would like to reach the people who opened their doors and thank them for their openness and kindness," the mayor said in a statement issued by the city.

Information, including a brief description of the circumstances and the location where assistance was provided, such as the name of the business, institution, or premises and the street name, can be sent to the mayor's office at kp.umk@um.krakow.pl.

On November 7, a 24-year-old man drove a car onto Kraków's Main Market Square and opened fire on bystanders. Six people were killed and 15 others were injured, including two police officers. Later that day, police discovered the bodies of the suspect's father, mother and sister in his apartment in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski. All three had sustained gunshot wounds. The attacker died in hospital on Monday.

The investigation is being conducted by the Małopolska branch of the National Prosecutor's Office.
