Solidarity surges in Poland following central Krakow shooting

Poland sees a surge in public solidarity and fundraising following a mass shooting in central Krakow that wounded two police officers.
Public solidarity has mounted in Poland following Saturday's mass shooting in central Krakow that left six people dead and 15 injured, along with three family members found dead at the suspect's home.
Attention remains focused on two critically injured police officers, including former paratrooper Officer Jakub Kulik, who confronted the 24-year-old gunman within 23 seconds of the initial emergency call. Reports indicate two prominent surgeons dining nearby rendered immediate emergency intervention before medical crews arrived. An online fundraising campaign for the wounded officers generated over €1.13 million within 17 hours, while nationwide appeals persist for urgent blood donations. All hospitalized victims reportedly remain alive as authorities continue investigating the shooter's motives.
