Near Augsburg, a 34-year-old shot dead two men with arrows and was seriously injured. Neighbors of the alleged perpetrator let the two victims after shots in their house to protect them from further projectiles. Policemen overwhelmed the shooter and arrested him.
The man had shot the arrows at his own house with a previously unknown device. It still had to be clarified whether he might have used a bow or a crossbow, said a police spokesman.
A 39-year-old was seriously injured by an arrow on his face. A 47-year-old also suffered severe injuries on the upper body. He was flown to a clinic with a rescue helicopter.
"At the moment we can not say what the background is," said Jakob. Against the provisionally arrested man is determined because of attempted killing offenses. Police and prosecutors want to announce more details on the case on Wednesday.
