On the evening of 9 November, thousands of people gathered in Krakow's Main Market Square to express their grief and honour the memory of six people who died during Saturday's attack. The event was attended by Polish President Karol Nawrocki, Prime Minister Donald Tusk, and the city's mayor, Lukasz Gibala.
The march started at the intersection of the Main Market Square and Slawkowska Street. It was at this location that the attacker shot the first pedestrians.
«Слова не здатні передати масштаб цієї трагедії та наш біль через те, що сталося. Тому не буде жодних слів і виступів. Це буде Марш тиші», — пояснив мер Кракова Лукаш Гібала. (Words are unable to convey the scale of this tragedy and our pain over what happened. Therefore, there will be no words or speeches. This will be a Silent March)
Many participants arrived at the gathering point with flowers and candles. Some prayed while waiting for the procession to begin. The President, the Prime Minister, the Mayor of Krakow, and the Krakow Metropolitan Cardinal Grzegorz Rys were the first to light candles at the street corner where the first three people died two days earlier.
At 20:00, following the signal from the trumpeter on the tower of St. Mary's Basilica, the column set off. The march passed by the basilica towards the Town Hall Tower. At each of these points, participants lit candles in honour of the deceased.
Cardinal Grzegorz Rys read a prayer, and the event concluded with the trumpeter performing the composition “The Sound of Silence” by Simon & Garfunkel. The entire procession lasted approximately 30 minutes.
On Saturday, 7 November, shortly before 16:00, 24-year-old Michal O. drove a black Subaru onto the Main Market Square and opened fire on pedestrians.
Police caught up with the car on Stradomska Street, where a shootout took place. A law enforcement officer wounded the attacker, who subsequently died.
Six people were killed in the shooting, and 16 others were injured. Among the dead were three Polish women, an Austrian woman, and two men, one of whom was a British citizen.
That same evening, police discovered the bodies of three people in the attacker's family apartment in the city of Ostrowiec-Swietokrzyski — his father, mother, and younger sister.
National mourning was declared in Poland from 8 November. It will continue on Monday. In Krakow, mourning events will continue until 11 November inclusive, and flags on public buildings have been lowered.
The book of condolences can be signed in the lobby of the Krakow Voivodeship Administration on All Saints' Square (Wszystkich Świętych). It will be available daily from 9:00 to 19:00 until 11 November.
