Overview
- Police say a relative reported suicidal threats in Wendelstein before officers heard gunshots by phone, deployed SEK, and later shot a 25-year-old who allegedly confronted them with a firearm, with questions pending on how many rounds hit him and whether he fired.
- Officials report the man remains in intensive care as the Bavarian State Criminal Police and prosecutors secure evidence, seal the scene, and interview involved officers to determine whether the force used was lawful.
- Near Warburg, a 23-year-old hunter died after being struck by a shot that investigators say came from a 22-year-old companion’s weapon, with a negligent-homicide probe underway and forensic reconstruction and an autopsy planned.
- In Schongau, a 42-year-old was found with a life-threatening gunshot wound, a 62-year-old present at the scene is under investigation for a possible failure to render aid and was placed in psychiatric custody, and the circumstances remain unclear.
- In separate NRW cases, police took six neglected children in Menden into care and seized narcotics from their home, and federal police in Dortmund confiscated a blank pistol with ammunition from a 15-year-old who now faces weapons-law proceedings.
