Shots in the East Quarter: man dies despite resuscitation efforts
A 41-year-old man was shot on Elsassstrasse in the Aachen East Quarter in the afternoon at 15:50. As Tages-Anzeiger reports, the victim died despite resuscitation attempts at the scene of the crime.
"We are currently proceeding on the assumption that there are several suspects involved who are currently at large," said a police spokesperson. The authorities deployed a large-scale operation; a police helicopter was also deployed. Witnesses are asked to contact the police.
The incident may be connected to two earlier occurrences in the area: a brawl had already taken place nearby on Thursday, in which two people were admitted to hospital. In the same night, a restaurant was also shot at.
"We are examining whether there are connections due to the geographical proximity of the location, but we cannot yet make any confirmed statements on this," the spokesperson explained. The search for the suspects is ongoing.
