In the vibrant city of Parchim, situated within the Ludwigslust-Parchim district, an unfortunate incident unfolded late one Friday evening. A 53-year-old pub operator found himself in harm's way after an accidental discharge of a gun in a heated altercation.

The scene of the incident was the entrance area of an Irish pub, where tensions ran high between the security personnel and guests who were denied entry to an ongoing event. Witnesses reported that during the altercation, a pistol slipped from an unidentified individual's pocket, leading to an inadvertent shot that struck the pub's operator in his leg. The gun's owner then fled the scene, taking the weapon with them.

Emergency services swiftly responded and transported the injured man to the hospital. Thankfully, his injuries were not deemed life-threatening, allowing the community to breathe a sigh of relief. The local authorities are now appealing for any witnesses to come forward with information, as they continue their efforts to apprehend the suspect.
