The Independent reported Wednesday that local media named James Thomas Campbell, 32, a DJ from Prestwick, Scotland, among six people killed in Krakow’s Nov. 7 shooting. Police Scotland said formal identification had not yet taken place.

Detective Chief Inspector David McAlinden, a senior investigating officer with Police Scotland’s Counter Terrorism Policing unit, said family liaison officers were providing specialist support to Campbell’s family. He said the family had asked for privacy.

McAlinden said Police Scotland was working in conjunction with the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) and supporting the U.K. Counter Terrorism Policing network and Polish authorities. He said establishing Campbell’s identity for his family was the shared immediate priority so repatriation could proceed as quickly as possible.

The attack killed six people. Krakow’s city government listed 15 injured, while the Lesser Poland Voivodeship Office reported 17 the following day, according to an earlier EconoTimes report on the casualty count.
