Polish public rallies behind officers injured in Krakow shooting

Poland has seen a surge of public support following a mass shooting in central Krakow that left six people dead and 15 injured. A public fundraising campaign for two critically injured police officers raised over €1.13 million within 17 hours of its launch.

Authorities issued nationwide appeals for blood donations, particularly to support Officer Jakub Kulik, a former paratrooper who helped neutralize the 24-year-old gunman. Emergency responders arrived within 23 seconds of receiving the initial distress call. Two off-duty surgeons dining nearby rendered immediate life-saving assistance to the wounded officers at the scene.

All 15 injured victims remain in stable condition. Meanwhile, law enforcement agencies are continuing their investigation into the attacker's motives following the discovery of three deceased family members inside his home.
