Overview

• Authorities identified the 57-year-old suspect, a Starnberg resident found dying near Lerchenauer See, and said he likely took his own life.
• Drone images showed a second fatality in the burned house, probably the suspect’s 90-year-old father, as investigators initially could not safely enter the structure.
• An 81-year-old woman with a gunshot wound and the suspect’s 21-year-old daughter rescued from an upper floor were hospitalized with injuries.
• Booby-trapped explosive devices on the property created acute danger for responders, prompting bomb-disposal operations, a 200-meter cordon, and neighborhood evacuations.
• A note referencing the Oktoberfest triggered a precautionary shutdown and extensive searches that found no threat, and the festival reopened at 17:30.
