Polish public rallies to support officers injured in Krakow shooting
A wave of solidarity in Poland raised over €1.13 million for police officers wounded while stopping a mass shooter in Krakow.
A wave of public solidarity has swept Poland following a shooting in central Krakow that left six people dead and 15 wounded. A public fundraising campaign for two police officers injured while neutralizing the 24-year-old gunman raised over €1.13 million within 17 hours. Nationwide blood donation drives were also launched to assist Officer Jakub Kulik, a former paratrooper critically injured during the confrontation.
Police responded within 23 seconds of receiving the alert. Two prominent surgeons, including Professor Michał Pędziwiatr, were dining nearby and delivered immediate emergency care to the wounded officers.
Authorities confirmed that all 15 surviving victims remain in stable condition. Meanwhile, investigators continue searching for a motive after discovering three deceased family members at the suspect's residence.
