Polish citizens raised over €1.13 million and donated blood for police officers injured while neutralizing a mass shooter in Krakow.

Polish citizens and authorities have rallied to support the victims and law enforcement officers following a mass shooting in central Krakow that left six people dead and 15 injured. A public fundraising drive for two police officers who intervened to stop the 24-year-old gunman raised over €1.13 million within 17 hours. Nationwide blood donation appeals were also launched for Officer Jakub Kulik, a former paratrooper critically wounded during the incident.

Two prominent surgeons dining nearby provided immediate medical treatment to the wounded officers before emergency crews arrived. Authorities confirmed that officers responded within 23 seconds of the initial emergency call to neutralize the suspect. All 15 injured survivors remain in stable condition. Meanwhile, investigators discovered three deceased family members at the suspect's residence as the investigation into the motive continues.
