Public support grows in Poland for officers wounded in Krakow mass shooting

Polish authorities and citizens have mounted extensive support efforts for two police officers critically wounded while halting a mass shooting in central Krakow. The gunman killed six people and injured 15 others before officers neutralized him within seconds of arriving at the scene. Three members of the suspect's family were also found dead at his home.

Immediate medical assistance was provided at the scene by two prominent surgeons dining nearby, including Professor Michał Pędziwiatr. Nationwide appeals for blood donations continue, focusing on former paratrooper Officer Jakub Kulik. Meanwhile, a public fundraising campaign for the officers raised over €1.13 million within 17 hours. Authorities confirmed all hospitalized victims remain alive as the investigation into the motives of the 24-year-old shooter continues.
