Poles donate over €1 million within hours for officers who stopped Kraków gunman

People in Poland have donated more than one million euros within a few hours for two police officers who stopped the gunman in Kraków. Both officers were seriously wounded during the operation. They have since woken from their comas.

On Saturday, a 24-year-old shot six people dead in the centre of Kraków. Police say the attack had an allegedly far-right motive. Reports also say he killed several relatives. Video footage shows officers stopping the man, who was hit during the police operation.

On Monday, police said the attacker had died of his injuries in hospital. The investigation continues.

The donations are a sign of how deeply the attack has shaken the country. For the two officers, the first steps back from the coma are now the most important news.
