Four people were injured in western Germany, in Hagen, after a series of shootings. One of the injured victims is currently in a state of absolute emergency. The perpetrator of the shooting is actively sought after having managed to escape.
New drama on the German streets. Four people were injured in Hagen, western Germany, on Saturday June 1 after a series of gunshots, reports Le Figaro. The perpetrator of the shooting managed to flee, said the police, who ruled out any political act at this stage.
This new incident comes the day after a knife attack in the city center of Mannheim, in southwest Germany, which left several injured. The alleged perpetrator, a 25-year-old man of Afghan origin, whose motive remains to be determined, attacked several people who were participating in an anti-Islam movement. During the attack, six people were injured, including a police officer seriously.
A woman in absolute emergency
The police, who quickly arrived on site, put in place an impressive system, while at the same time calling on the population to avoid the area. The injured were all taken to hospital. Among them, three were shot. A woman, seriously injured in the attack, is currently in a state of absolute emergency, with her life threatening, a Dortmund police spokesperson said. For the moment, while the circumstances of this new tragedy remain unclear, the family trail seems favored by the investigators who have excluded any political or religious context.
The perpetrator, still on the run, is actively sought by the police who, to find him, are helped by a helicopter flying over the city.
