Shooting attack in Cologne's South Town – 32-year-old hospitalised
In the early hours of Sunday morning, a violent assault took place on an open street in Cologne. A 32-year-old man was seriously struck by gunfire from a moving vehicle and had to be taken to hospital.
The incident occurred around half past four on Zülpicher Straße in the Zollstock district. Several shots were fired from a passing vehicle. The victim suffered serious injuries and received emergency medical treatment. Doctors performed surgery.
The attackers escaped in their vehicle. Police have deployed a specialist unit to investigate the incident. The motives remain unclear. Officers have ruled out a connection to a detonation on Friesenwall, which also occurred during the night. Both cases are being handled separately.
Zülpicher Straße is located in the southern part of the city and is part of the university district. The street is heavily frequented at weekends. Authorities are asking anyone who witnessed something or can provide information about the fleeing vehicle to contact them on 0221 229-0.
