Overview

  • Police report that several shots were fired following a dispute between groups near Lindenbachallee at Löwenmarkt in Stuttgart-Weilimdorf.
  • The 16-year-old was later discovered with a gunshot wound near the Nordbahnhof, roughly seven kilometers from the playground, and is hospitalized with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
  • Criminal police cordoned off the playground and secured evidence as part of the ongoing investigation.
