Two men have been killed by gunshots in the German town of Bad Nauheim north of Frankfurt in Hesse state, police said Saturday.
The perpetrator is on the run, according to a police spokesperson.
“As things stand, there is no danger to residents or the public,” the police spokesperson added.
An intensive search for the perpetrator is currently under way. “At the moment, we are assuming there is one perpetrator,” he said. No further details were initially available.
There were no concrete leads on the possible perpetrator late Saturday.
The police were out in force and cordoned off a large area around the suspected crime scene in front of a three-storey building.
The area is a residential estate with several apartment buildings near a swimming pool.
The background to the incident was initially unclear.
When the first patrols arrived at the scene, officers found two bodies, the police spokesperson said. “Both dead have gunshot wounds,” he added.
The police did not initially provide any information on the age of the two victims “for tactical reasons.”
It also remained unclear whether the perpetrator and victims knew each other.
