Overview
- Witnesses reported a visible weapon at the station bus area around 2:30 a.m. Sunday, prompting police to locate and detain a 30-year-old man.
- Officers found a blank-firing pistol in a thigh pouch with no magazine but one cartridge in the barrel.
- He lacked the small firearms license that German law requires to carry such guns, so officers seized the weapon and opened a case.
- Witnesses said they noticed the weapon as the man stepped out of a taxi near the station.
- He told police he had just found the gun and was released after on-scene checks while the investigation continues.
