in the small town of Altdorf, located southeast of Nuremberg, a dramatic incident occurred, which frightened the residents. After a house and a forest were on fire, the police called on caution and blocked Autobahn 3 in both directions. The population was on alert when an armed man was sought.

The use of a special task force was necessary to contain the risk. After hours of searching, the man's body was finally found. The Situation calmed down slowly because there was no direct threat.

With a population of over 17,000, Altdorf usually has a quiet life to offer. But on this day the idyll was severely disturbed by the fires and the subsequent search. Even the city festival could not overshadow the events, since the presence of the armed man remained unclear.

The police tried to calm the population and to answer all open questions. Despite the tragedy, the rapid intervention of the emergency services was crucial to prevent worse things. The residents of Altdorf ultimately breathed a sigh of relief when the locking of the highway was lifted and the danger seemed to be banned.
