As is usual in such cases, he will initially be listed as a suspect.

It is about the initial suspicion of bodily harm resulting in death.

Frank Schniedermeier from the board of directors of the NRW police union said that there were regular shooting training sessions with all the weapons used by the police.

The police were called to an inner courtyard between a church and a youth welfare facility in the north of Dortmund on Monday afternoon.

The 16-year-old is said to have been looked after there for a short time.

According to the chief prosecutor, one of the supervisors called the police because he saw the youth with a knife.

His exact motivation still has to be clarified, among other things suicidality is in the room.

According to the police, he died on Monday after the shots during an emergency operation in the hospital.

For reasons of neutrality, the Recklinghausen police have been entrusted with the investigation.
