Arrest following gunshots fired outside premises in Mülheim
Following shots fired in the Cologne district of Mülheim, police have arrested a 28-year-old suspected perpetrator, as reported by Google News DE — Crime (de) citing WDR. A 41-year-old man was injured in the foot and had to be taken to hospital.
The incident occurred on Monday evening at approximately 18:40 in front of a restaurant on the street "Am Kabellager". According to police, the victim and alleged perpetrator initially came into conflict there. The 28-year-old then left the scene, but returned a few minutes later with a weapon and fired several shots.
The suspect subsequently fled. Police immediately launched a manhunt across the entire Cologne city area and apprehended the man around an hour later at the Rhine bank in the Cologne-Porz district. He is now in custody; investigations are being conducted on suspicion of dangerous bodily harm.
Police emphasise that there are no indications of connections to organised crime. Investigators have also ruled out any connection to a clash between two large families in early August in Mülheim — during which several people were injured by firearms and knives.
