Closure on a Fulda Attack

 Back around three years ago here in my 'state' of Hessen....around the town of Fulda...a bakery opened up early in the morning.

What the police say is that a guy showed up....got into a threatening behavior with the clerk....threw a rock or two at the window....injured the clerk, and then the police arrived.....where the guy did a physical attack on the cop.

I should note....the guy was a migrant (immigrant) and 19 years old at the time.

At this point in time (after the first cop was injured).....a second policeman shows up in a car.  He gets out....assesses the situation...yells for the attacker to 'halt'.  The attacker simply turns to run away.  

So from around 150 meters away (roughly 500 ft), the 2nd policeman fired his pistol.  Yeah.....I looked at this part of the story a good bit.  Cop fired all 12 rounds....hitting the guy with four.  

General shooting with a pistol from a distance of 150 meters?  I'd suggest your odds of hitting anything is a bit too risky.  Maybe with a rifle, your odds would be better served.  

The migrant guy?  He dies from the gunshots.

This week....a third attempt was reviewed by the local prosecutor, and he says 'no charges' will be pressed.  I would imagine once the clerk and first policeman were attacked....the situation was spiraling out of control.

The family?  Well....they say it's just not right.  

Why the bizarre behavior at the bakery?  Unknown.....far as I know....no one ever stood up to touch this.  Maybe drugs or alcohol?  Well....you can't find any evidence of this.
