After shots were fired at four people in a residential building and a hair salon in the German city of Hagen, police continue to search for a 34-year-old man as a suspect. “We are still searching at full speed,” a Dortmund police spokesperson said on Sunday morning.
A large contingent is still deployed in the Hagen area. The police remain dependent on information from the public.
Probably on a family level
The suspect is said to have seriously injured four people by shooting on Saturday morning. According to police, one of the victims was the wife of the suspected perpetrator. There were injuries at both crime scenes, which are just a ten-minute walk apart. According to initial findings, the background to the crime was family related.
Woman seriously injured
According to police, the shots were fired around 11 a.m. Saturday morning. Accordingly, the suspect from Hagen is said to have first seriously injured his wife with gunfire in their shared apartment in an apartment building on Hochstrasse. He then shot several times at the door of an apartment on the floor above. No one was injured there.
Turkish citizen
The 34-year-old Turkish national then drove a car to the hair salon and shot three other people there. According to the police, one of these victims was in mortal danger on Saturday evening. After the crime, the man drove his car to a nearby parking lot and fled on foot.
Helicopter in use
A helicopter was used to search for the suspect on Saturday. A supermarket was also temporarily targeted, which a police spokesperson said was considered a possible third crime scene. A section of forest was also searched. It was said that information was constantly coming from the public.
According to police, all four injured people were treated at different hospitals. Police have cordoned off the area around the locations and urged people to avoid the area. The population was warned to exercise extreme caution. An area was set up near the crime scene where neighbors, residents and family members could be cared for if necessary.
