Shock in Nuremberg: Man shoots out of apartment - SEK in action!

On Friday afternoon, May 9, 2025, a dramatic incident in Nuremberg-Ziegelstein shook the neighborhood, as shot noises from an apartment. The alarmed police arrived with a full team after a concerned resident heard the loud noises. The officials met on site for a 65-year-old man who was in a psychological state of emergency and stood against the emergency services with a knife.

The police were able to arrest the man after intensive negotiations as part of a coordinated mission. He is suspected of having given up several shots with a shot gun. It remains unclear whether this weapon is the one found during a search of the neighboring house. Due to his fragile mental state, the 65-year-old is transferred to a specialist clinic in the evening.
