Disco drama in Nuremberg: 22-year-old shoots gas in the face!

A worrying incident caused a stir in Nuremberg on the night from Friday to Saturday. A 22-year-old is accused of shooting a 21-year-old in the face with a gas pistol in front of a discotheque. The [report from the Süddeutsche](https://www.sueddeutsche.de/bayern/nuernberg-disco-Schreckschuss Pistole-sicht-li.3333344) describes the event, which was full of tension and drama.

The argument between the two young men broke out when the 21-year-old tried to hit the 22-year-old. He was apparently able to dodge at the last moment and responded with a shot from the gas pistol, which left the 21-year-old with bleeding facial injuries. He then had to go to the hospital, but was discharged that same night.

Fortunately, no serious injuries

During the altercation, four bystanders also suffered eye irritation from the irritant gas, and they were all treated by emergency services. The accused initially fled, but was soon arrested at his apartment after police officers identified him based on video recordings from the club.

When he was arrested, the man resisted, which led to his father also becoming involved in the altercation. Both sustained minor injuries during the arrest. In the accused's apartment, the officers found a gas weapon and a banned fist knife. This led to the police initiating investigations into grievous bodily harm and an offense against the weapons law.

A look at security issues

Before this incident, safety in nightclubs had often been discussed in public. The availability of gas weapons and other dangerous items raises important questions about guest protection. The authorities are required to carry out more stringent controls to prevent similar incidents in the future.

But while attention turns to the security situation in nightclubs, the music world also remains active. Currently, iHeartRadio hosted its annual Jingle Ball, allowing fans of the artists to immerse themselves in their living room experiences. The virtual event featured the likes of Billie Eilish, Doja Cat and Dua Lipa, providing a welcome distraction from worries.

Especially in times like these, when such threatening incidents make headlines, it is important to keep an eye on the positive aspects of music and community. Whether through concerts or online events, music remains an important part of our lives to promote joy and cohesion.
