Witnesses reportedly called emergency services earlier, stating that the armed individual was on the hospital premises. It was unclear who made the emergency call and from which area of the site it came. Haßlinger did not confirm that the emergency call was triggered by an announced amok situation in the children's ward, as reported by the "Kurier." Similarly, the police did not confirm that the operation was related to an officially ordered medical intervention, as the paper writes. Passersby reported several emergency vehicles and heavily armed police officers. The man has not yet been found. The background remains unclear.
