Polish citizens and officials rally following a mass shooting in Krakow, raising over €1.13 million for injured officers as blood donation drives begin nationwide.

Following a mass shooting in central Krakow that left six people dead and 15 injured, Polish authorities and citizens have rallied to support the victims and responding officers. A fundraising drive for two police officers injured while stopping the 24-year-old gunman collected over €1.13 million within 17 hours. Blood donation drives have also been initiated nationwide for Officer Jakub Kulik, a former paratrooper who sustained critical injuries during the incident.

Two prominent surgeons who were dining nearby provided immediate medical treatment to the officers before emergency crews arrived. Police responded within 23 seconds of the initial emergency call, successfully neutralizing the suspect. Medical officials reported that all 15 surviving victims remain in stable condition. Meanwhile, law enforcement officers discovered three deceased family members at the suspect's home as the investigation into the attacker's motive continues.
