A 35-year-old man was killed in a police operation in Ingolstadt, Upper Bavaria, on Monday. As the police headquarters of Upper Bavaria North announced, the man was in an "exceptional psychological situation" and initially attacked the forces "abruptly", whereupon they made use of the firearm.
Despite immediate medical treatment, the man died shortly afterwards from his injuries.
According to police, the emergency services had been alerted to the man on Monday morning and found him shortly afterwards south of the refinery in Ingolstadt. The police forces had tried for several hours and with the participation of special forces and a negotiating group to persuade the man for medical treatment before he attacked.
The investigation into the incident is now being conducted by the Bavarian State Office of Criminal Investigation under the direction of the Ingolstadt public prosecutor's office.
