Police stop bloodbath: shots and fire in Leipzig's hot spots!
On Monday morning there was a large-scale police operation in the Schönefeld district of Leipzig. A call was made to Gorki Street due to an intra-family conflict in which several shots were fired. The police arrived with a large contingent, which led to road closures. Despite the shots, it was initially unclear whether there were any injuries. Radio Leipzig reports that the conflict was successfully resolved by the emergency services.
At the same time, another incident called for emergency responders' attention. In Leipzig-Altlindenau, a roof fire broke out on Georgplatz, which resulted in heavy smoke. Residents were asked by the Nina-Warnapp to keep doors and windows closed. Here too, it is unclear how the fire started and whether there were any injuries.
Conflict between extended families
The police were able to quickly bring the situation under control and separated the groups involved. However, this led to short-term restrictions on bus services for the Leipzig public transport company. Multiple reports of assault have been filed at the scene and investigations into the exact circumstances surrounding the incident are ongoing. [TAG24].
Both incidents show how important rapid and coordinated police intervention is in such critical situations. Investigations and investigations into the background of both missions are in full swing in order to avoid future conflicts.
