New Wulmstorf: A Town on the Rise - A 35-year-old man was shot, and a 23-year-old suspect was apprehended.
Officers arrived at the scene two minutes after being called and found a 35-year-old man with a thigh injury sitting on the passenger side of a crashed car. Reports from eyewitnesses claimed the man from Seevetal had been conversing with his friend, the driver, when the latter suddenly opened the door and fired two shots. The victim was struck in the thigh and the suspect quickly ran away, heading west through Kantstraße.
The injured man was sent to the hospital in an ambulance and underwent surgery. His condition is stable and there's no imminent threat to his life.
More than 30 officers joined the search for the shooter, along with a police helicopter. After receiving a tip from a witness, the officers found a man in a field to the west of the crime scene who matched the description. The suspect complied without struggle when he saw the police, and was taken into custody.
The 23-year-old assailant is currently silent and undergoing investigation for attempted murder. He'll be seen by a magistrate later in the day.
The victim's condition currently prevents him from being interviewed, and initial findings suggest the suspect purposefully targeted the 35-year-old before shooting him. The reasons behind the attack are still unknown.
Individuals who witnessed the incident but have yet to speak with police are asked to call 04181 2850.
