Shots in Offenbach: 43-year-old injured, police looking for perpetrator!

An incident in Offenbach-Bürgel is currently causing a stir after a 43-year-old was injured by a gunshot on the night of October 23, 2025. At around 9:25 p.m., the police received several emergency calls in which residents reported shots fired and cries for help. The emergency services then closed the area around Offenbacher Strasse and the corner of Alicestrasse and initiated a comprehensive search.

The injured man was found with a gunshot wound to the foot and was immediately taken to a hospital.
