The police are investigating possible capital offenses after shots were fired in the Rotenburg district.
A police spokeswoman said on Friday that no information could initially be given about possible victims or the background.
There are two crime scenes - one in a single-family home in Westervesede in the municipality of Scheeßel, and one in Bothel in the Rotenburg district.
Scheeßel - The police assume it was a capital crime - according to the spokeswoman, it is unclear whether there is a connection between the two crime scenes.
The alleged perpetrator turned himself in and was arrested, said the spokeswoman.
A large contingent of police officers is on duty.
Further details were initially not available.
