Sebnitz (dpa / sn) – A 67-year-old threatened a couple with a blank gun. No one was injured, police said on Tuesday. The man reported on Monday at the apartment door of the neighboring family in Sebnitz and fired the gun into the air. After that he went back to his apartment.
Police officers later went to the 67-year-old’s apartment and secured the weapon. The man is now being investigated for threats and violation of the weapons law. In a first interview, he told the police that the noise in the neighboring apartment disturbed him. Since, according to a spokesman, a racist motive cannot be ruled out, the state security of the Dresden police department has taken over the further investigation.
