Shots in the night: 28-year-old with firearms order in his sights!
In a tricky situation, there was an incident at a gas station last night around 9 p.m. that caused a stir. According to police, a 28-year-old was arrested after he fired eleven times into the air with a blank pistol. The alert witnesses who were able to describe the suspect made a decisive contribution to the emergency services being able to quickly track down the man. This reports Today.at.
Weapon ban and legal consequences
The person arrested was already known to be under an existing weapons ban, which makes the events all the more alarming. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident, which may have prevented anything worse from happening. The police have already taken legal action against the man for violating the weapons law. While the incident at the gas station caused shock and confusion, public debate about safety at such locations also remains.
In addition to this incident, another serious incident was reported in Essen, in which a man was shot in front of a garage. The police are also active here and are following up on various leads. It remains to be determined whether there are connections between these two acts of violence. Developments in this case remain exciting as investigators frantically search for a solution to stop this spiral of violence.
