According to eyewitnesses, shots were fired at 2:15 p.m. on Thursday in a residential complex on Vorgartenstrasse. The police were on site with several emergency services, including the Wega special forces.
The exact background of the incident is still unclear. What is certain is that a man in an apartment has threatened and coerced a person with a gun. Residents also want to have heard shots.
According to police spokesman Paul Eidenberger, Wega was deployed in the residential complex. The officers stormed an apartment using an irritating missile, but no shots were fired. The gun man suffered a minor blast trauma, but did not have to be taken to the hospital, but was arrested on site.
