Briton killed by gunman in market shooting named as Scottish DJ

Mr Campbell is believed to have worked as a DJ and lived on the Isle of Arran off the west coast of Scotland.

The gunman has been named in Polish media as Michał Oksiński, 24, who has been described as being “fascinated by extreme ideologies” by Poland’s national prosecutor’s office.

Oksiński, a military cadet who is said to have been obsessed with serial killers, murdered his sister and parents at his family’s home in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski before travelling to Krakow to carry out the massacre.

He died in hospital on Monday after being shot by police during the rampage.

Four women and two men were killed in the shooting, while 15 were left injured, including a British citizen who has been named as Harry Marchant, 19, from North Yorkshire.

Today, Scottish First Minister John Swinney said he was “deeply saddened” by Mr Campbell’s death, describing it as an “appalling, senseless tragedy”.

“My thoughts are with the family and friends of the Scottish man who has died, and all those murdered or injured in the deplorable Krakow shooting,” he wrote on social media.

The Foreign Office confirmed it was supporting Mr Campbell’s grieving family and the family of the Briton wounded in the attack.

A family friend of Mr Campbell told The Telegraph: “We are all in shock. This is too upsetting.

“Do you know what we have been through? We’re broken-hearted.”

Mark Jewell, who regularly DJ’d alongside Mr Campbell, described him as “a quiet, kind and soft-hearted person, who wouldn’t have harmed a fly”.

He told the BBC: “It’s just so tragic that he had to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

“I had been speaking with him when he was headed over to Poland and I messaged him as soon as I heard about the terrible attack, to ask if he was safe – not for one minute expecting that he would have been caught up in it all.

“I was fully expecting a funny message back from him, saying not to worry. I can’t quite get my head round it all.”

Mr Marchant’s family confirmed he is in a stable condition in a Polish hospital after undergoing surgery.

They said in a statement via North Yorkshire Police: “We would like to confirm that our son was injured during the incident in Poland over the weekend.

“We are pleased to say he is now in a stable condition, receiving ongoing hospital treatment.”

“We can’t express how grateful we are to the first responders, medical team, and the people of Poland for their help and care for Harry.”

A GoFundMe page has been set up by his relatives to help cover the costs of his repatriation costs, alongside any mental health and recovery support needs.
