Poland sees a surge of solidarity as public donations top €1.13 million for police officers who stopped a mass shooter in Krakow.

Polish citizens and authorities have mobilized widespread support following a mass shooting in central Krakow that resulted in six deaths and 15 injuries. A public fundraising effort for two police officers who neutralized the 24-year-old gunman collected over €1.13 million within 17 hours. Nationwide blood donation drives were also launched to aid Officer Jakub Kulik, a former paratrooper critically wounded during the response.

Immediate medical aid was rendered to the injured officers by two prominent surgeons who happened to be dining nearby. Authorities noted that police arrived within 23 seconds of receiving the emergency call. All 15 injured victims are currently in stable condition. Investigators also found three deceased family members at the suspect's residence as the inquiry into his motive continues.
