Germany Public Safety Roundup: Suspect Held After Gießen Shooting, Man Remanded in Mittenwald Fire Probe

Authorities describe the next phase as driven by forensic work alongside active witness appeals.

Overview

  • Police in Gießen arrested a suspect hours after three people were shot and injured inside a betting shop near the Marktplatz, with none of the victims in life‑threatening condition.
  • In Bollschweil, investigators opened a homicide case after a girl was found dead during a domestic incident in which an officer shot and wounded the 58‑year‑old father, who was then arrested.
  • On the A1 near Sittensen, a 58‑year‑old driver died following a collision triggered by a sudden lane change; the involved vehicle fled, and Autobahnpolizei Sittensen is seeking witnesses at 04282‑5087‑0.
  • After a night‑time house fire in Ketsch that caused about €200,000 in damage and left the home uninhabitable, police say a technical defect is currently considered the likely cause.
  • In Mittenwald, a 46‑year‑old man was taken into custody on suspicion of arson in a garage fire, with criminal‑technical findings supporting the case and a judge issuing a detention order.
