A group argument with a 16-year-old
At a fair in Lüdenscheid in the northwest of the Sauerland, a 40-year-old was shot dead at the exit of the festival area on Saturday evening. Previously, there had been an argument between a 16-year-old and a group of six on the premises. When the youth and his father tried to confront the group, they all fled.
Presumably the victim is a bystander
“During the escape, two people fired shots from a blank gun and a live gun,” the investigators said. “Shots were fired both in the air and in the direction of the 16-year-old and 52-year-old father who was pursuing.”
A projectile hit the victim, who comes from Gummersbach. “He later died in hospital from his injuries,” police said. A spokesman for the Hagen public prosecutor’s office told Stern.
