The empty search highlights a cautious response to unconfirmed gunfire reports.

  • About 60 officers and a helicopter were deployed to cover the park entrances, paths, and the area near Graefestraße.
  • Officers on scene said they heard further bangs, though the source of the noises was not identified.
