The suspected perpetrator of the violent incident in Albstadt, with three fatalities and two injured, was Jäger. This was shared by the police and prosecutor's office in the evening. Whether the firearm used and secured at the scene belonged to the 63-year-old German, who legally possessed weapons for hunting, is part of the investigation.

Authorities found the suspect dead in the garden of the house. The exact family relationships were not disclosed by the investigators.
