The police, which was on site during these hours, kept covered with the background of the mission. When asked by the federal police, it was unveiled that it was an extensive search. A spokesman announced that there had been searching for a person with a gun since around 5 p.m. This not only affected the inner city area, but extended to the main train station in Ulm.
The operation was coordinated by the Ulm police headquarters, but the information remained sparse. A spokesman said cautiously by explaining that the action was "not press -relevant". Ultimately, it remained abstract until the evening, which exactly triggered the search. However, it was assured that there was no immediate danger to the population and that the investigation continued.
In addition, several federal police vehicles were spotted at the main train station, which heated up further speculation about the incident. Whether these emergency services were directly connected to the ongoing search remained unclear and only contributed to the general confusion.
The situation on Sunday was able to keep the residents in suspense, not least because the defining impression of a helicopter that hovered over the city remained in the memory. Such missions quickly attract public interest, especially when unknown factors are in the room. What and why exactly happened on Sunday afternoon remained unclear until the reporting time and can be important for future missions.
The abstinence of the police of concrete information raises questions that not only concern citizens but also the media. While the investigation progresses, the uncertainty about the original event remains. The public expects clear communication from the responsible authorities in order to be able to react more transparently to such situations.
