According to the police, the alleged gunman from Heidelberg had more than 100 rounds of ammunition with him.
It is not yet known why he stopped shooting, said the Mannheim police chief Siegfried Kollmar on Monday evening.
That is speculative, but it cannot be ruled out that a specific person should be hit.
Mannheim/Heidelberg – The 18-year-old could have reloaded.
Because there was a backpack with unknown contents with the young man's corpse, the police were not able to reach the dead man for a long time.
It could have been explosives, Kollmar explained.
The Baden-Württemberg State Criminal Police Office therefore also sent defusers to examine the backpack.
