Polish public rallies behind wounded police officers after Krakow shooting
Poland sees a surge of solidarity following the Krakow shooting, with over €1.13 million raised in 17 hours for wounded police officers who stopped the gunman.
A massive wave of public support has swept Poland following the Krakow shooting that left six people dead and 15 wounded. A fundraiser for two critically injured officers who neutralized the 24-year-old gunman collected over €1.13 million within 17 hours, alongside urgent nationwide appeals for blood donations.
Police patrols responded within 23 seconds of the initial alarm. Former paratrooper Officer Jakub Kulik, injured while stopping the attacker, received immediate on-scene assistance from two renowned surgeons dining nearby, including Professor Michał Pędziwiatr. All 15 surviving victims remain in stable condition.
Investigators continue searching for a motive after finding three deceased family members at the suspect's residence.
