Armed Man at Hamburg Airport Data Increasingly Less Dangerous
The authorities no longer regard the armed individual at Hamburg Airport as a significant risk to bystanders. This update was communicated by a police spokesperson to the German Press Agency late on Saturday evening. The plane stationed on the tarmac, located under where the man had parked his vehicle, is now clear and poses no threat to onlookers.
As reported by the Federal Police, the gunman managed to breach a gate with his vehicle around 8 p.m., driving onto the airport tarmac. Equipped with a firearm, he had already discharged it twice into the sky. A young four-year-old child was accompanying him; it remains unclear whether there is an additional minor in the vehicle.
Despite the cleared aircraft on the tarmac, Hamburg Airport's air traffic remains undisturbed. Unfortunately, incidents such as this underscore the alarming rise in criminal activities, with an armed individual in possession of a child putting lives at risk by illegally entering the airport with a weapon.
