Shooting festival in Erndtebrück: Woman suspects knockout drops! Police are investigating!
The shooting festival took place in Erndtebrück on Friday evening, July 11, 2025, but was overshadowed by a serious incident. A 43-year-old woman suddenly became dizzy during the event and required medical treatment. Shortly after midnight she began to feel unwell and decided to take a taxi home. The following morning she reported to the police and expressed suspicion that she had been given knockout drops. This was the trigger for the police investigation, which then initiated a series of measures. This information was published by Radiosiegen, which detailed the circumstances of the incident.
A preliminary test was carried out in a hospital in Bad Berleburg which revealed evidence of a substance that is found in strong painkillers. The exact source or manner in which this substance entered the woman's body - whether through a drink, food or some other means - remains unclear. The criminal police have taken over the investigation and are in contact with the organizer of the shooting festival. Similar incidents are also being investigated at the Bad Berleburg shooting festival, suggesting there may be a broader problem.

For the woman affected, the situation is not only a health burden, but also an emotional one. The comprehensive investigation now underway will hopefully provide further insight and possibly encourage relevant authorities to consider additional security measures.
