Major operation in Osnabrück: Dispute with blank gun causes excitement!
The mail went off in the Wüste district of Osnabrück on Thursday afternoon, October 7th, 2025. An argument between three people - two men and a woman - escalated violently and attracted the attention of the police. According to NDR, around two dozen patrol cars were deployed to clarify the incident.
At around 1:15 p.m., residents heard the loud sounds of gunshots going up and down. During detailed investigations, the police seized cartridge cases that probably came from a blank pistol. The exact process remains completely unclear, although reports of gunshot noises have been confirmed. Fortunately, all three people involved only sustained minor injuries and had to be taken to hospital for safety, while it was determined that there were no gunshot wounds.
Search and call for help
Initial searches for a fugitive involved were quickly concluded as there were no other fugitive suspects. While investigations into the circumstances of the incident are ongoing, police emphasize that there is no danger to the general public. Nearby facilities, including a senior center and a daycare center, remained unaffected, which eased the situation for residents.
The investigating authorities are now looking for witnesses to the incident who can provide valuable information. Witnesses are asked to contact the telephone numbers (0541) 327 -3103 or -2115, as [Bild](https://www.bild.de/regional/niedersachsen/osnabrueck-polizeisatz-nach-streit-mit-Schreckschuss Pistole-68de75c38016f8118e2fa8ca) reports.
