The sound of gunshots and calls for help startled residents near the Josephsburg underground station in the Berg am Laim district of Munich around 7 p.m. on Thursday evening. The police moved in with almost 100 officers, including emergency services from the hundred and the special task force. In the backyard of an apartment building, they found a 57-year-old man and his 32-year-old son who had already overpowered and held a 32-year-old uninvited visitor.
As it turned out, he appeared in front of the father and son’s apartment with a blank gun in his hand. There he suspected his ex-girlfriend, whom he suspected of having a new relationship with his son. An argument then broke out in front of the open kitchen window, during which the intruder threatened to use a weapon. The father then hit him on the head with a frying pan through the open window. Police say it’s still unclear if shots were fired. The dispute then moved to the front door, where the son came to his father’s help.
In the scramble, some shots were fired from the alarm pistol – the police could not say whether intentionally or accidentally. The abandoned lover was provisionally arrested. An investigating judge ordered custody on Friday.
