Around 9 p.m. on Wednesday, local residents reported around three to five shots.

More than 30 stripes went out.

On the sidewalk at the bus stop on Schleissheimer Strasse, officers noticed a 24-year-old with a gunshot wound in the leg.

"We don't know whether it was a targeted shot or a ricochet," says a police spokesman.

The police found cartridge parts on site, which are now being forensically examined.

There are many unanswered questions - because the injured man, a Munich resident from another area of ​​the city, is not very willing to provide information.

He came to a clinic.

A patrol noticed a Mercedes that had moved away from the crime scene in the evening.

Police officers later discovered the parked car on Schopenhauerstrasse.

When a 32-year-old approached the vehicle, they asked him to stop – but the man walked away.

Only after a police officer fired a warning shot into a green area did he stop.

After an interrogation, the man from Munich, who comes from another district in the north, was released.

According to the police, there was initially no suspicion.
