Around four weeks after the deadly shots at two police officers in the Kusel district in Rhineland-Palatinate, the Kaiserslautern public prosecutor's office dropped the murder charge against one of the two suspects.

According to her own statements, she assumes that Andreas S. shot alone.

The arrest warrant for his alleged accomplice, a 32-year-old man, remains in place because of commercial poaching and obstruction of justice, the authority said on Tuesday.
