Germany Launches Manhunts and Probes After Hit-and-Run, Fatal Attack and Shootings

Police intensify regional searches, focusing on forensic reconstruction.

Overview

  • Schrobenhausen: A 12-year-old boy struck by a speeding car was airlifted, operated on and is out of life-threatening condition, as police hunt a very light-colored larger SUV or station wagon likely bearing front-end damage.
  • Investigators in Schrobenhausen are reconstructing the crash with traffic police and DEKRA, with a prosecutor-ordered expert report and appeals to witnesses and local workshops for tips on recent front repairs.
  • Neumünster: A 24-year-old died after a violent incident, a 26-year-old suspect remains in custody pending a judge’s hearing, a firearm was secured, two initially detained men were released, and an autopsy is scheduled.
  • Hamm: Two men were seriously wounded by gunfire near a residential building, one initially in critical condition is now stable, suspects remain at large and a homicide unit is investigating.
  • Separate actions target dangerous driving, including an A95 illegal street race involving tourist-driven rental cars under criminal investigation and an A5 pursuit of an alleged drug-impaired, unlicensed driver, with further appeals for witnesses.
