This morning (03.06.2022), units of the State Police Headquarters assisted the weapons authority of the city of Saarbrücken as part of official and enforcement support. During this, a man shot at one of the deployed police officers.
When the police officers and the employees of the City of Saarbrücken arrived at the 67-year-old's residence to search his apartment based on a search warrant from the Saarland Administrative Court, the perpetrator shot at a police officer. The officer was injured by the shot and is receiving medical treatment. Another police officer was injured by flying glass shards.
The 67-year-old barricaded himself in his apartment after firing a shot. The area around Wilhelmstraße/Warndtstraße in Saarbrücken-Klarenthal is cordoned off extensively. The police ask all residents to stay inside their homes and keep away from windows, as the perpetrator is shooting with a weapon from an apartment window.
