Immediately before the incident, about six people had left the building. The chairman of the association, who lives on the upper floor of the house, heard a bang shortly after midnight. When he met with another person a little later - independently of this - he discovered the bullet hole in the entrance area, a police spokesperson reported.

No one was in the danger area at the time of the shooting. The ammunition - it was a handgun caliber of nine millimeters or more, the exact type is still under investigation - pierced the frame of the entrance door, went through a room and a double glass pane, and ended up in the courtyard.

Whether it was one or more perpetrators is also still being investigated. The investigation is being led by the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution and Counterterrorism.
