Overview

• Herdecke investigators say Iris Stalzer is out of immediate danger and, in a hospital interview, named her 17-year-old daughter as the suspect, with two knives seized in the house.
• Authorities report no indication of a political motive in the Herdecke attack, and both adoptive children were initially held only to be transferred to the Jugendamt.
• Forensic work indicates the assault occurred in the home's cellar after an emergency call that first misreported a street robbery outside the residence.
• In Paderborn, police arrested a 25-year-old local student near Padersee after a female student was stabbed in a school sports hall during an Amok alarm; she is undergoing emergency treatment in critical condition and the weapon was recovered.
• In Mainaschaff, officials lifted a gas warning after nitrous fumes from a plant incident caused four minor injuries, while other operations saw an arson suspect detained in Markkleeberg and drug dealers arrested with weapons seized in Gelsenkirchen.
