A 32-year-old driver was shot by the police in Stuttgart after a traffic accident. The man said he had attacked two police officers with a “sword-like object”, the police said. The officers then shot him and injured him so badly that he died in the hospital on Saturday night.
Previously, the man reportedly drove his small car in the wrong direction into a roundabout and collided head-on with an advertising column. He then escaped from the scene of the accident with a companion. When the police turned him on and spoke to him, he attacked the officers with an approximately 70 centimeter long stabbing weapon, it was said.
