Bloody relationship dispute: police officer shoots himself in Schwerin!

On Sunday, February 23, 2025, the security forces in Salzburg were alerted when a 27-year-old man threatened the police with a kitchen knife in a relationship dispute. The incident occurred in the Lehen district, where the Cobra commando could quickly intervene. The aggressive Austrian was overwhelmed and arrested, which prevented the situation from escalating. During the subsequent search of his apartment, the officials also discovered a small amount of addictive substances. Fortunately, the incident remained without injuries, as 5min.at reported.

A similar incident occurred at the same time in Pinnow near Schwerin, where a civilian police officer broke into a foreign property with his service weapon. This led to a large -scale deployment of over 50 civil servants, including the special use command (SEK). The situation seemed to be a threat because the police officer had previously been reported for a relationship dispute. Tragically, when the SEK arrived, it could not be prevented that the official committed himself to life with his service weapon. There were no other injuries in this incident, according to NDR.de.

death from suicide

The public prosecutor's office in Schwerin has initiated a procedure to clarify the exact circumstances of suicide. Some residents had been locked out of their houses for several hours during the operation. This raises questions, which is why information about the incident was initially not published. The police and the Ministry of the Interior hesitated to submit official explanations, which was surprising internally. General reluctance applies in particular with regard to suicides, but exceptional circumstances can arouse public interest.
