Criminality - Large operation in Albstadt - Police confirm three dead
At a large-scale operation in Albstadt on the Swabian Alb, police found three deceased individuals and two injured. It was not about a rampage, a police spokeswoman stated. The investigators therefore seem to rather suspect an intra-family crime. Previously, media had reported.
The police spokeswoman was reportedly informed of shots on a Sunday afternoon. After that, they went to Lautlingen - a district of Albstadt with 1,800 inhabitants and residents. There, the deceased and injured were found. A special operations team was also in action.
The injured were reportedly taken to hospitals. Their condition was initially unclear. Whether the perpetrator or perpetrator was among the deceased was initially left open by the spokeswoman. However, there was no danger to the population.
The large-scale operation took place in a residential area. The police have sealed off the operation site extensively. In the operation, according to eyewitness reports, were 30 to 40 police patrol cars, police special forces, and dozens of ambulances. Police officers were reportedly wearing helmets and vests. Several helicopters from the police and ambulances circled over the area.
Albstadt is a small town in the Zollernalbkreis with approximately 46,000 inhabitants. The city is located between Stuttgart and the Bodensee.
The large-scale operation in the Crime-investigation took place in Albstadt, a town in Baden-Württemberg's Swabian Alb region. Due to the size of the deployment, multiple police patrol cars, special forces, and ambulances were present.
Despite the significant police presence in Albstadt, the spokeswoman assured that there was no ongoing rampage, and the situation was not dangerous for the residents.
The operation site, situated in a residential area, was extensively cordoned off to ensure the safety and security of the area during the investigation linked to intra-family criminality.
