Bad Nauheim shooting: Manhunt for gunman at-large after two shot dead
A massive manhunt is under way in Germany for a gunman after two people were shot dead in a 'targeted' attack in the town of Bad Nauheim, near Frankfurt yesterday
A huge manhunt is under way in Germany after a gunman killed two people and is believed to still be at large.
The incident, which occurred Yesterday (April 19), has seen cops out in force in the town of Bad Nauheim, near Frankfurt. Police in the Hesse region reported that the two victims were gunned down in a residential part of Bad Nauheim, roughly 22 miles north of Frankfurt. Authorities currently have no idea what the motive was behind the brutal attack. Investigators have also not yet identified the victims.
The German news outlet DPA reported that a police spokesperson hinted at signs pointing to a lone wolf attacker, but they're not dismissing the possibility that there might have been more accomplices.
Hessenschau, a local news source tied to a public broadcaster, says that after the Saturday shootings, a hefty squad of police was dispatched, with locals saying that special forces were at the scene, along with ambulances and a police helicopter flying overhead, reports the Mirror.
"A big force deployment" of police, including uniformed officers, plainclothes detectives, and special ops, have spread out, with a helicopter in tow, to collar the culprit or culprits, according to Giessen city police.
"The current understanding is that there is no danger for inhabitants or other people," the police reassured.
Cops have launched a chopper to hunt down a suspect on the loose, a spokesperson revealed, as they're also grilling locals and potential witnesses for clues.
"We will then use the information we gain from this for the manhunt," said the spokesperson.
Bad Nauheim, just 15 miles north of Frankfurt and home to some 33,000 souls, is famous for its Elvis Presley connection.
The King did his US military service there from 1958 to 1960 and it's where he first crossed paths with his future wife, Priscilla Presley.
