In Hattenhofen in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, a local FDP politician was seriously injured by several projectiles in his apartment. The shots were fired from outside through a window on Sunday morning, police and prosecutors said Monday. The 65-year-old district council member has already had surgery and is not in danger of life.
An investigation is being conducted into the background of the crime, but there is no trace of the unknown shooter or shooters. The police set up a special commission. She is also investigating a possible connection to other shots fired at other places in Baden-Württemberg in recent weeks.
In a letter to the members of the district council, Göppingen district administrator Edgar Wolff was “deeply concerned and shocked by this violent act”. In an initial statement about the shootings in the community of about 3,000 inhabitants, FDP parliamentary leader Hans-Ulrich Rülke said: “I am shocked by the terrible news.” His thoughts are now with the local politician and his family.
