The assassin from Halle was injured in the attack, his hostages remained physically unharmed. The exact circumstances and details are not yet known.

Balliet is considered an unpredictable prisoner. On the Pentecost weekend of 2020, he tried to escape from Halle prison during the trial. During a yard walk, he climbed a 12-foot fence and spent five minutes looking for a way out of prison before court officials caught him again.
It is currently not known whether Balliet wanted to flee again after the hostage-taking.
On October 9, 2019, the right-wing extremist assassin tried to storm the synagogue in Halle on Yom Kippur, the highest Jewish holiday, and to cause a massacre. He threw incendiary and explosive devices and shot at the access door. When he was unable to get onto the premises, he murdered a 40-year-old passer-by in front of the synagogue and a 20-year-old in a nearby kebab shop. He injured other people while fleeing.
