Fugitive gunman on the run from Menden's authorities

In the Sauerland region of Menden, NRW, a construction site has become the scene of a tragic event. On a fateful day, a series of shootings took place at the site, resulting in the death of a 45-year-old German man and the critical injury of a 49-year-old Turkish man.

The victims are believed to have been working as construction workers on the site, although this has not been officially confirmed. An argument is said to have taken place at the construction site, leading to the violent incident.

The Turkish man, who was initially in danger of life, is now reported to be stable. The identity of the deceased German man has not been disclosed.

A 40-year-old woman, who was arrested at the scene, has since been released from police custody. She is the wife of the alleged perpetrator, who hails from Bosnia-Herzegovina, and resides at the crime scene. Witnesses suggest that she left with the suspect after the shooting and later returned to the scene alone. No involvement in the crime can be established for her at this time.

The police are still searching for the suspect, who is said to have Serbian-Montenegrin citizenship. The role of the woman in the events is still unclear. The police spokesman stated that anything is possible regarding the suspect's potential escape towards Serbia.

Witness statements are currently being questioned as part of the investigation. The police are urging anyone with information to come forward. The suspect is wanted in connection with the fatal shootings at the construction site in Menden.

As the investigation continues, the construction site remains a crime scene, with the construction work temporarily halted. The community is left in shock, hoping for the swift apprehension of the suspect and justice for the victims.
