"Unclear situation" was the name of the crime scene, which was broadcast on Sunday as a repeat in the first.
The spectators were still enthusiastic.
Munich – The repetition of a two-year-old episode on Pentecost Sunday – on paper one could have expected viewer frustration.
The opposite was the case: the Munich crime scene “Unklare Lage” with investigators Ivo Batic and Franz Leitmayr delighted the viewers with a realistic case and even garnered a top TV spot.
Munich crime scene: Exciting episode with reference to reality
In "Unklare Lage" the title stands for the whole episode: After shots are fired in a bus during a routine ticket inspection, the SEK intervenes and shoots the attacker.
In the backpack of the 20-year-old, the investigators then find a radio and spare magazines - evidence of a second perpetrator?
Rumors quickly made the rounds on social networks, the media reported that there was unrest all over Munich.
Is an attack imminent?
Batic and Leitmayr chase through the whole city, trying to calm the terrified population and forestall another possible gun attack.
The whole case is reminiscent of the attack at the Olympia shopping center in Munich in 2016, when an 18-year-old student shot nine people.
Back then, too, rumors spread like wildfire on social media, and in the meantime it was said that shots had been fired at Stachus.
According to
sueddeutsche.de
, there were "67 operations at 67 crime scenes - and 66 false alarms" that evening.
