Overview
- Prosecutors obtained a warrant on suspicion of attempted murder after the knife attack on store employees in Ulm.
- A 25-year-old employee remains in life-threatening condition, a 22-year-old colleague has been discharged, and a 36-year-old coworker was lightly injured while intervening.
- Police shot the 29-year-old suspect near the store; he is in intensive care and currently not fit for questioning.
- Officials report the Eritrean suspect lost his protection status in September 2023 and has been under an enforceable removal order since January 2024 following multiple violent convictions and recent prison terms.
- Authorities say deportation failed because Eritrea would not issue travel documents, and a state migration official supports examining non‑EU centers for cases where home countries refuse readmission.
