A 33-year-old man in Lampertheim, southern Hesse, was taken into custody after answering his door armed with a pistol. The confrontation began when neighbours reported loud music coming from his apartment. Police later confirmed the weapon was a blank-firing gun.
Officers arrived at the man’s home following noise complaints. Upon opening the door, he was visibly holding a pistol. Police immediately ordered him to drop the weapon, which he did without resistance.
A search of the apartment uncovered more items of concern. Inside, officers found a second blank-firing gun, a crossbow, an extendable baton, and a machete. No one was injured during the incident. The man was placed in temporary custody. Authorities are now investigating potential charges related to threats and breaches of weapons regulations.
The case remains under investigation, with no further details released about the suspect’s motives. Police have not linked the incident to any other events in the area. The man’s custody status will depend on the outcome of the ongoing inquiry.
