In Münster, a police officer shot a suspect who was fleeing on Wednesday. No one was injured, police said in the evening. According to previous investigations, the 32-year-old suspect tried to flee to avoid being arrested for a drug-related offense.

He is said to have driven a car from a supermarket parking lot in the Angelmodde district onto a busy road. A police officer then shot the getaway car. A short time later, officers stopped the car and arrested the man. The investigation into the drug offense is ongoing. For reasons of neutrality in the use of firearms, the Bielefeld police took over the investigation.
