Public solidarity surges in Poland following central Krakow shooting
Polish citizens have raised over €1.13 million and organized blood donation drives for police officers injured while stopping a mass shooting in central Krakow.
Polish citizens have rallied to support law enforcement officers injured during a mass shooting in central Krakow on 7 November. A nationwide fundraising campaign raised over €1.13 million in 17 hours for the two officers who confronted the 24-year-old gunman. Appeals for blood donations have also been launched for Officer Jakub Kulik, a former paratrooper who remains critically wounded.
Authorities confirmed that police responded to the scene within 23 seconds of the initial emergency call. The wounded officers received immediate life-saving care from two prominent surgeons who happened to be dining nearby. All 15 injured victims are currently in stable condition. Investigators continue their inquiry into the attack, which left six dead, following the discovery of three deceased relatives at the suspect's residence.
