Fatal police operation: Witnesses in Göttingen urgently wanted!

In a tragic incident in Göttingen, a 35-year-old man lost his life on December 18, 2024 through shots from a police weapon. The deadly commitment took place in the Geismar district when the man was supposedly mentally unstable and without warning one of the two police officers attacked with a knife, which led to a significant violation of a police officer.

The Goslar police inspection has taken over the investigation and is now urgently looking for witnesses to the events.
