After the fatal shots by police officers on a refugee during an operation in Harsefeld, the investigation continues.

A spokesman for the Stade public prosecutor said on Wednesday.

The traces in the asylum seekers' accommodation had been secured and witnesses were questioned.

The 40-year-old man from Sudan, who had mental health problems, was shot dead by police on Sunday evening.

Stade / Harsefeld - He is said to have threatened her with a knife.

The Green Youth of Lower Saxony called for the incident to be clarified.

"Why the situation could not be de-escalated in any other way and how exactly the 40-year-old died, must be clarified quickly," said spokeswoman Pippa Schneider.

“The fact that a refugee was shot dead in an accommodation in the Stade district for the second time within two years is stunned.” At that time, a 19-year-old from Afghanistan was shot by the police during an operation in the Bützfleth district of Stad.

The network for traumatized refugees in Lower Saxony (NTFN eV) called for police officers to be trained in dealing with mentally ill refugees.

Specialists, or at least psychologists, should also be consulted for such assignments.

The police were called to the refugee home three times on Sunday because of the man from Sudan, the prosecutor said.

The man is said to have threatened others.

After the first two missions around noon, the police discussed with a judge whether the 40-year-old should come into psychiatric custody.

But it was decided by mutual agreement against it.

The man voluntarily spent several hours at the police station in the afternoon.

He then went to the home, to which the police had been called for the third time late in the evening.

The investigation is being carried out by the police from the neighboring district of Cuxhaven.
