A 35-year-old woman is said to have shot at a group of people with an air rifle in Lübeck and hit a 31-year-old man. As police and prosecutors announced on Thursday, the woman was arrested after the incident on Wednesday evening. The 31-year-old was slightly injured when the woman ran over his leg with her car, it was said. According to the information, he was taken to a hospital.

The air rifle was fired at least once and no one was injured. In addition to the rifle, the police also found two knives, a machete and drug paraphernalia in the woman’s car, it was said.

The woman shot at a group of men from the side window of her car in the parking lot of a supermarket on Ziegelstrasse. She then initially fled, but returned to the parking lot. According to the report, she accelerated towards the same men, who took refuge in the supermarket entrance. They then reportedly tried to talk to the woman. She drove towards the group again at high speed and hit the 31-year-old with her car.

The woman is said to have fled again. She was eventually stopped by a patrol and arrested. The public prosecutor ordered a blood sample and wanted to apply for an arrest warrant.
