gunfight in Hamburg
14 June 2005

Yesterday was a violent gunfight in Hamburg.
Two policemen got a shot into the belly, a policewoman got a shot into the hip and another cop many bullets into the shoulder.
All policemen did not carry bulletproof waistcoats...

The whole began as a usual traffic control and ended in a blood bath.
The criminal, an Iranian, fled with his girlfriend and fired several magazines empty on the further escape. He carried a bulletproof waistcoat and had still over one hundred shot ammunition thereby.
Suddenly he stopped and shot his girlfriend into the head and then he killed himself with a shot into the head.

Many uninvolved also children were only very scarcely missed and dozens of projectiles hit into apartments and in parked cars.

The life in Hamburg can be very dangerous...

I don't understand why German police aren't equipped with body armor at all. Every police officer here wears his vest underneath his uniform shirt when he's on duty.

Police here in Australia dont carry armour unless they have been specifically called to a scene where dangerous projectiles are involved.

Its kind of silly, but who wants to wear another 2 kilo's of clothing each day.
