Poland sees a surge of solidarity, raising over €1.13 million for police officers wounded while stopping the Krakow shooter.

A massive wave of public solidarity has swept Poland following the 7 November mass shooting in Krakow's main square, which left six victims dead. A fundraising campaign for the two police officers wounded while subduing the gunman raised over €1.13 million within 17 hours. Urges for blood donations continue across the country for Officer Jakub Kulik, a former paratrooper who remains in critical condition.

Authorities revealed that police intervened within 23 seconds of receiving the emergency call, quickly neutralizing the 24-year-old suspect. The officers received immediate lifesaving medical assistance from two prominent surgeons who happened to be dining nearby. Meanwhile, all 15 wounded bystanders are currently stable, while investigators continue to probe the motive behind the attack and the deaths of three of the shooter's relatives at his home.
