A 16-year-old was fatally injured by one or more shots by police officers in Dortmund on Monday.

The teenager had previously attacked the officers with a knife, said a police spokesman.

There was initially no further information on the precise background to the police operation.

Dortmund – The police were called to Holsteiner Strasse around 4:25 p.m.

Officers used the firearm, the police spokesman said.

It was initially unclear how many shots were fired and whether several police officers fired.

The 16-year-old was seriously injured and died a little later during an emergency operation.

For reasons of neutrality, the investigations are no longer carried out by the Dortmund police, but by the Recklinghausen police.
