Trial ongoing: No comment from defendant in relation to deadly shootings at Bad Friedrichshall company

In Bad Friedrichshall, Germany, a shooting incident at a family-owned precision gear company has left the community in shock. The incident, which took place during the late shift in the company's workshops north of Heilbronn, claimed the lives of two brothers aged 49 and 44, and left another colleague severely injured.

The defendant, who has been charged with two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder, allegedly fired a total of 23 shots during the incident. According to reports, he fled the building and drove home after the tragedy.

Authorities are still working to determine the motive behind the attack, but investigators believe the motive for the crime was the defendant's jealousy and anger towards his colleagues. The defendant was allegedly jealous of one brother who was in charge of the work group and responsible for distributing machines. He was also reportedly angry at the other brother for having to clear a machine he was temporarily operating after the brother's return from sick leave.

The defendant was arrested without resistance by special forces (SEK) at his house in Seckach in the Neckar-Odenwald district. During the raid, investigators found two weapons and ammunition at his home. It is believed that he legally possessed the alleged murder weapon, as he held a weapons permit.

Despite the arrest, the defendant has remained silent during the trial regarding the charges brought by the prosecution. His lawyer, however, has stated that the defendant is not making any statements about the incident or his person.

As of the latest available information, the investigation is still ongoing. Prosecutors and police are continuing to gather evidence and interview witnesses. No formal trial has commenced as the investigation is still in preliminary phases, and the suspect's legal proceedings, including charges and court dates, have not been finalized or publicly disclosed.

Updates on such cases can evolve quickly, and it is advisable to check trusted local news sources or official statements from German law enforcement for the most current information.
