Krakow shooting: injured officers honored and medical updates provided
Following the mass shooting in Krakow's Main Market Square on November 7, Polish President Karol Nawrocki has awarded Officer's Crosses of the Order of Polonia Restituta to police officers Jakub Kulik and Artur Morański. The officers were honored for their bravery in intervening to stop the attacker, Michał O., who killed six people and wounded 16 others before dying in the hospital on November 9.
Medical updates indicate that both officers are in stable condition after being removed from induced comas. Artur Morański has undergone extensive surgery, including a 10-hour procedure to address chest and forearm injuries, and is receiving care at a military hospital. Jakub Kulik is being treated for multiple gunshot wounds, including a lung injury.
A public fundraiser initiated by Krzysztof Stanowski has raised nearly 6 million PLN to support the injured officers and their families. Meanwhile, Polish authorities have formed a special task force to investigate the motives behind the attack, which has been classified as a terrorist murder. Police have also detained five individuals for allegedly celebrating the attacker's actions online.
