Overview

• After a phone dispute, a 58-year-old drove to his ex-wife’s home in Bollschweil to collect the children and forced his way inside, according to officials.
• He took the daughter into his control and locked the mother and son outside.
• Police observed severe violence through a window, and an officer fired through the glass, hitting the man as he retreated with the child.
• Officers later entered the house and found the girl lifeless, emergency services confirmed her death, and the mother and brother are under psychological care.
• The father was arrested and treated for what authorities described as non-life-threatening gunshot injuries, and the LKA has taken over the review of the officer’s firearm use as part of the ongoing criminal investigation.
