Shock shortly before Christmas Eve in Mannheim : A man is said to have threatened the police with a knife on Johann-Sch\u00fctte-Strasse in the Sch\u00f6nau district. She then shot him. A short time later, the man died in a clinic, as the police announced.<\/p>\n

The 49-year-old is said to have previously called the police himself – because he had committed a crime. A patrol with three officers drove to the Mannheim district of Sch\u00f6nau, said a spokesman for the Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg State Criminal Police Office (LKA). The 49-year-old was waiting on the street armed with a knife and threatening the officers.<\/p>\n

The police<\/a> then used their service weapon and shot the man, as the police have now confirmed. A reporter reported – citing an eyewitness – that four shots were fired.<\/p>\n

The police report also states that the 49-year-old was injured by the shots and was immediately taken to a clinic with attempts at resuscitation. The man ultimately died there.<\/p>\n

According to the information, nothing was initially known about the background and motive of the 49-year-old. According to initial findings, there was no dispute, said the LKA spokesman. The public prosecutor’s office and police initially did not provide any further details.<\/p>\n

Shots only as an \u201cultima ratio\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For reasons of neutrality, the LKA took over the investigation. Among other things, it will now be checked how the officials and the 49-year-old reacted, said the spokesman. Investigators are asking witnesses who witnessed the incident to provide recorded videos. A special information portal has been set up for this purpose.<\/p>\n

According to the Interior Ministry, service weapons may only be used as an \u201cultima ratio\u201d, i.e. as a last resort. Whether so-called direct coercion is used is decided by the respective police officer on a case-by-case basis and taking into account the principle of proportionality. The LKA is investigating what the situation was in the current case.<\/p>\n
