Massive public support follows fatal mass shooting in Krakow

Polish citizens raised over €1.13M and launched blood donation drives for police officers injured while stopping a mass shooting in Krakow.
Polish citizens have rallied behind the law enforcement officers injured while stopping a mass shooter in central Krakow on 7 November. Over €1.13 million was raised in 17 hours through a public fundraising campaign to support the two officers involved in stopping the 24-year-old gunman. Nationwide blood donation drives were also launched for Officer Jakub Kulik, a former paratrooper who remains critically wounded.
Authorities confirmed that officers arrived at the scene within 23 seconds of the initial emergency call. Immediate life-saving medical care was provided to the wounded officers by two prominent surgeons who were dining at a nearby restaurant during the incident. All 15 injured victims are currently in stable condition, while police continue their inquiry after finding three deceased relatives at the suspect's residence.
