Good news update! Further developments on the Poland mass shooting. Senior Constable Artur Morański and Senior Constable Jakub Kulik have both been brought out of induced comas and are in stable condition following a shootout with the Polish mass shooter. Morański and Kulik intercepted the suspect's car only 23 seconds after the dispatch went out to them. There was then a car pursuit of several minutes as the suspect attempted to flee. The firearm engagement began aftrr the suspect rear-ended another vehicle at the exact moment the suspect stepped out of the vehicle. Morański and Kulik opened fire on him simultaneously. During this rapid exchange, Morański was struck near the collarbone and incapacitated. Jakub Kulik was shot three times by Oksiński and had a collapsed lung and massive internal hemorrhaging, yet he rallied to get back up to ensure the safety of his community. Kulik, who neutralised Michał Oksiński, was in critical condition but he has been brought out of his induced coma and is now stable. Kulik, pictured below, has a heart for service. Before joining the police, Jakub Kulik was a volunteer fireman in the Leszczyny Fire Department in his hometown of Bielsko-Biała. He is still currently a volunteer fireman according to Władysław Szypuła, the president of OSP Leszczyny. He also served in the 18th Bielsko Airborne Battalion. They are paratroopers and considered to be one of the most prestigious, highly trained, and agile strike forces in the Polish Armed Forces. Active members of the 18th Battalion launched coordinated blood drives following an appeal from the medical staff at the hospital where he was being treated. Artur Morański had been a patrol officer for years. His neighbours in his home village of Powroźnik describe him as a respected young man from a deeply rooted local family. Following the attack, the local parish community immediately gathered at the church in Powroźnik to hold prayer vigils for his recovery. There is currently no publicly available or media-cleared portrait of Artur Morański to publish. Kulik and Morański were assigned to the 1st Police Precinct in Kraków. This specific precinct is responsible for patrolling the central Old Town district. If not for the quick and heroic actions of these young patrol officers, the carnage may have been far worse. Heroes. 🙏🏻
