Two pals in a pickle - one's in critical condition from a bullet
A bust-up between two fellas leaves both of 'em in a pickle, with one man seriously wounded by a bullet in Mannheim. According to the local police and prosecutors' office, the ruckus unfolded on a Friday night. Reportedly, a 32-year-old and a 28-year-old had a spat. The older lad allegedly whipped out a knife and gave his bud a good stabbing, focusing on his upper body. Talk about turning a friendly hangout sour.
A bang rang out as well, and the 32-year-old ended up with a gunshot wound. Where the heck that firearm hailed from remains a mystery. The 32-year-old and two mystery witnesses took off in the direction of the central station. The 32-year-old dialed 911 to report his gunshot wound, but his two buddies fled the scene. The 28-year-old, still injured, called for help too. Both bruisers ended up in the hospital with life-threatening injuries, but thankfully, their lives are no longer on the line.
Promptly, an arrest warrant was swapped for the 32-year-old for attempted homicide.

Sulaiman A., an Afghan man, is on trial for a knife attack that left a police officer dead and five others injured in a 2024 anti-Islam rally in Mannheim. He used a large hunting knife and allegedly had ties to the Islamic State (IS) group. Despite the charges aimed at him, however, his trial will focus solely on his guilt or innocence, with no broader social or political topics in the spotlight. The suspect arrived in Germany as an unaccompanied minor in 2013 and was initially granted residency. He is currently in a condition that prevents him from talking to investigators.
The investigation into the attack is still ongoing, that took place on May 31, 2024. Police and prosecutors are studying the suspect's background and motives carefully, as tensions related to migration and security rise in Germany ahead of an impending election on February 23. The trial for Sulaiman A. is expected to shed more light on the situation and circumstances of the attack.
