Public support surges in Poland for officers injured in Krakow shooting

An online campaign raised over €1.13 million in 17 hours for two police officers injured during the Krakow shooting, while public blood donation drives continue.
Public solidarity in Poland has surged following Saturday's mass shooting in central Krakow, with an online campaign raising over €1.13 million in 17 hours to support two police officers injured while neutralizing the suspect.
Authorities reiterated urgent appeals for blood donations for Officer Jakub Kulik, a former paratrooper, and his colleague, both of whom confronted the gunman. Additional details released by law enforcement indicate that the first police patrol arrived at the scene just 23 seconds after the initial distress call.
Medical officials also confirmed that two prominent local surgeons dining nearby provided immediate emergency assistance to the wounded officers before paramedics arrived. Both officers remain hospitalized as investigations into the attack continue.
