Two police officers hailed as heroes for confronting Kraków gunman

Two Polish police officers who confronted and detained a gunman in Kraków have been praised for helping prevent further casualties. Jakub Kulik was critically injured in the exchange of fire, while Artur Morański was also wounded; both underwent surgery.

The 24-year-old suspect, a Polish national, killed six people and injured 17 in an attack believed to have been inspired by far-right ideologies. Police reached the scene, where the gunman was shooting from his car, 23 seconds after the first emergency call. Both officers were brought out of medically induced comas on Sunday, and a national appeal was made for blood donors.
