After the shots at police officers during an operation in Saarbrücken-Klarenthal, the alleged shooter was found lifeless.
This was announced by the police on Twitter on Friday afternoon.
Accordingly, the emergency services had stormed the apartment of the alleged perpetrator after unsuccessful attempts to negotiate.
On Friday morning, a man opened fire on the officials who were supposed to support the Saarbrücken city's weapons authority as part of the administrative and enforcement assistance on site.
When the police officers and city employees arrived at the 67-year-old to search his apartment, the man shot the police officer, it said.
An officer was shot during the operation.
A spokesman for the police in Saarbrücken said he was being treated in the hospital but was not in mortal danger.
Another officer was injured by flying glass fragments.
After the shot was fired, the alleged shooter barricaded himself in his apartment and then shot specifically at the barrier and police vehicles, which arrived in the morning for a large-scale operation.
The police called on residents to stay in their homes.
A person shoots out of the window in the Wilhelmstrasse area, the police said on Twitter.
"Stay away from the location!
Please stay in your houses and away from the windows!” The area had been cordoned off.
After the access, the police announced that the danger had been averted.
However, there are still barriers in place.
Gun license should be revoked
The weapons authority had arrived in the morning with a search warrant from the Saarland Administrative Court.
According to the court spokesman, weapons and ammunition were to be secured from the man on Friday after his gun ownership card had been withdrawn “immediately”.
The employees of the weapons authority had come to him because he had indicated that he was not prepared to voluntarily return the weapons.
