- Intimidated by Mysteriously Masked Individuals, Hostess Encounters Danger
Shortly after securing his tavern in Idar-Oberstein, a district of Birkenfeld, the proprietor encountered trouble from two masked individuals. One carried a gun, yet didn't ask for cash, as authorities from Trier detailed. They speculate this incident might be related to personal issues. Due to these suspicions, a significant law enforcement response was instigated.
When the innkeeper responded with pepper spray, the assailant retaliated by firing a round at him. The target remained unscathed as the bullet missed its mark, as additional info from the police revealed. Subsequently, the men took to flight, disappearing into the night unwitnessed. The innkeeper barricaded himself inside and phoned the authorities.
Authorities suspect with high confidence that the gun was a blank-firing prop, they disclosed. The hunt for the two young lads, approximately 20 years old, clad in black hoodies, continues. Bystanders are advised to keep away from the area. The public is pleaded not to offer rides to hitchhikers.
The innkeeper was relieved when the bullet from the gun missed his mark at the restaurant. Despite the incident, business at the restaurant continued as usual.
