Authorities announced that the suspected gunman, a 52-year-old local resident, was detained on September 1. According to preliminary findings, the suspect had been recruited by Russian intelligence services.

World leaders reacted to the killing. Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys, and European Parliament President Roberta Metzola offered condolences and condemned the attack.
