Overview
- Police say SEK officers fired in self-defense after the man allegedly threatened them with a firearm, in some reports also holding a knife, and he remains in intensive care following surgery.
- The Bavarian State Criminal Office is examining the legality of the gunfire as the sealed scene is processed and questions remain over how many shots were fired and whether the man shot.
- In Schongau, a 42-year-old was found with life-threatening gunshot wounds and a 62-year-old present was placed in psychiatric care as authorities investigate a possible omission offense.
- Near Warburg, a 23-year-old hunter died after being struck by a shot apparently from his group, which police currently view as a likely accident while probing possible negligent homicide.
- Separate cases included a 27-year-old who fired a blank-firing pistol after a dispute in Augsburg, a 15-year-old stopped with a gold blank gun at Dortmund’s main station, and a large Aichach search that ended with a psychiatric admission and no confirmed shot.
