Overview
- A witness reported several youths firing four shots into the air on Baldhamer Strasse around 22:00 on January 29.
- Multiple patrols launched an intensive search, and Zentrale Einsatzdienste Erding detained the group within about 30 minutes.
- Officers found a loaded blank-firing pistol on a 17-year-old and confiscated it, with police stating the weapon belongs to a 19-year-old acquaintance.
- Authorities opened investigations for violations of the Waffengesetz because carrying such a pistol in public requires a small weapons license that neither individual held.
- Discharging ammunition in public and giving the weapon to a minor are administrative offenses subject to fines, and the case remains at the investigatory stage.
