The shooting happened in Georgensgmünd, close to Nuremberg.
The shooter was a member of the "Reichsbürger" (roughly "citizens of the german empire"), a group of lunatics who claim that the german state does not exist and its authorities have no power over them. He was shot and wounded, too. The case is investigated as murder and he faces life in prison.
The 32 years old officer, who was murdered, was a member of the SEK Nordbayern. He was shot in the chest, just between the plates of his vest, and died the following morning in hospital.
