Gunshots rang out last night in Wiesbaden, as cops went into reactionary mode. Local press covered the basic story.
To be honest, Germans freak out when they hear any gunshots, and it becomes a major matter.
This occurred around 8 PM....in the Mainz-Kastel neighborhood of Wiesbaden. Cops identify the particular area, and mount a large 'show' of force....prepared for danger.
So they arrive at what is a rent-out banquet hall, and it's been rented by a Turkish 'clan' for a wedding party (they even had private security around the hall).
After a fairly detailed investigation, they reach the conclusion that someone had fired off a gun in the traditional Turkish celebration-mode.
The party? It was halted during this period of investigation. Eventually, the cops came into possession of the gun and ammo. The shooter? He's now under investigation and probably will have to appear in front of a German judge....getting heavily lectured, and probably fined.
Turks will tell you in the home-country....firing of guns is part of the celebration. If you follow my essays.....this is the third episode like this in Wiesbaden in the past twelve months.
The problem is that with terror threats up....Germans have a particular view on any gunshots. German cops are put into the position that they might arrive at some scene and have to go into 'combat-mode'. All of this leads to a potential problem one day where some Turk might get accidentally killed because of the homeland tradition.
