Deadly deployment in Nikolassee: Police shoots 46-year-olds
In a dramatic incident that occurred in Berlin-Nikolassee on Saturday, a 46-year-old man was killed with the police during a change of shooting. The public prosecutor reported that the emergency services made a total of 19 shots, many of which met the suspect. The tragedy had apparently shot with a compressed air revolver after the man who was mentally ill and under care.
The spokesman for the Berlin public prosecutor, Sebastian Büchner, said that the use of the special operations (SEK) was activated due to a threat in a caravan place on Potsdam Chaussee. On the morning of the incident, the 46-year-old is said to have threatened a 49-year-old. However, the latter was able to defend himself and call the police before watching the man to the apartment building, in which he finally opened the fire.
starting point of the use
The previous conflict that triggered this commitment is alarming. The 49-year-old, who was threatened, reported that he was able to pass the suspect by force and immediately informed the police. With the help of video recordings, the aggressive man was identified. Since the 46-year-old did not react to the police's requests, the SEK decided to violently open the apartment door.
After the special forces had broken up the door, the suspect immediately opened the fire. It is unclear why he was armed at this point or where he got the gun from. These details are now part of the ongoing investigations. After the shootout, the man was declared dead, and at least 12 projectiles were found in his body during the autopsy.
background information
One of the backgrounds of the killed man is that he was mentally ill and lived in a supervised living situation. In the past, he had reported that he had the desire to need money for a weapon in the past, but this had rejected it. The exact circumstances that led to his access to this compressed air revolver are still unclear and are examined in detail by the authorities.
The criminal police are working on clarifying the entire situation in order to get a better understanding of how this dangerous confrontation could occur and what security measures may have been missed to prevent such incidents
Such a happen raises many questions, not only with regard to the security measures, but also about dealing with mentally ill people and their access to potentially dangerous objects. The public prosecutor has declared that it will carefully examine the events to find out whether there was a self -defense in this case or whether there were any failures. Investigations are underway, and the public will surely be looking forward to further developments in this tragic case.
