Date(YYYY-MM-TT) Name Age Place State Summary of events2010-01-26C., Alexander28Frankfurt am MainHessenPolice responded to a call about a man arguing with a woman in front of a hospital in Nordend. The man had tried to check himself in for psychological treatment for his anxiety and depression, as well as a check-up after he drank six flasks of essential oils, but was denied since the clinic had not mental ward. The ensuing argument between him and his girlfriend, during which he wielded a peeling knife, was then reported by a custodian. Two officers, Michel and Schneider, were reportedly attacked by the man, and fired a total of four shots, with three striking the man in the chest and legs. He collapsed and was subsequently kicked and beaten with a baton by Schneider for "incapacitation for fixation". The man died at the hospital despite immediate treatment. An investigation revealed in December 2010 that video surveillance at the scene had apparently been tampered with, as it was missing several frames essential to the case, as these depicted the confrontation between the officers and the attacker. It was also found that a police radio conversation contained information that contradicted later statements by the same officers and initial reports of the deceased holding a knife before the shooting were disproven following extensive media reports. Furthermore, witnesses stated that officers had kicked the man in the head as he was on the ground, with a medical examination confirming injuries consisting with "head trauma by kicking". The prosecutor's office halted their investigation in November 2011, with the deceased's family lodging a complaint in response. The legal proceedings ended in September 2013.2010-02-28Hamade, Slieman32BerlinBerlinA couple in Schöneberg called police to calm down their son who had become upset at his neighbours for playing loud music. In response to the man's heavy resistance, officers made use of batons and pepper spray. He eventually became unconscious and died at a hospital from circulatory failure, which was ascribed to an allergic reaction due to inhalation of the pepper spray. The death was heavily protested by local leftist groups as the deceased was of Lebanese descent and the police response was seen as discriminatory.2010-03-15S., Wladimir37BerlinBerlinA Russian German man was threatening his 72-year-old mother with a knife in Wedding. She called the police and was able to flee the apartment. The son fled before officers' arrival, but returned two hours later holding an unspecified implement. Officers opened fire as they felt threatened by the unknown object.2010-05-13J., Manfred44HennefNordrhein-WestfalenTwo police officers were pursuing two men from Mönchengladbach suspected of having started a fight at a night club. The men had been ignoring commands to stop in their tracks and put up their hands when one suddenly turned around, put his hand to a holster on his belt and yelled "Komm her, ich knall euch alle ab!" ("Come here, I'll blow you all away!"). As the officers had been informed by witnesses that one of the men was armed, though without specifying what kind of weapon, he was shot immediately. It was discovered that he had actually been unarmed, with staff members of the club revealing that the man had been previously carrying a retractable baton in the holster and used it to beat someone during the brawl he was involved in; the club bouncers had confiscated the baton just before police arrived. The officer responsible for the shots was cleared of all charges at a trial on 15 April 2011. 2010-06-07 R., Anna 10 OranienburgBrandenburg 32-year-old police officer Diana R. killed both her children before killing herself. She strangled her son and daughter in her flat and then hanged herself. Relatives had been unsuccessfully trying to open the apartment door around the time of the killings until firefighters arrived to break it down. Police believe that a custody dispute with her separated husband was the primary motive in the murder-suicide.R., Max5 2010-07-04 N.N. 55DolleSachsen-Anhalt A 59-year-old police officer killed his wife through trauma to the head and neck. He then planted her body in his car before intentionally crashing the vehicle into oncoming traffic on a one-way street. Both the officer and the female driver of the other car died through burn injuries after the collision caused a fire.N.N.272010-07-10N.N.38Frankfurt am MainHessenAn alcoholic resident at a homeless shelter in Bonames called police, claiming that he was armed and had taken a hostage, whom he would kill unless stopped. Police arriving at the scene quickly discovered that the resident, although armed with a katana, did not have a hostage and openly stated his plan to commit suicide by cop. After a lengthy talk, the man initially agreed to desist and went back inside, but as police were requesting backup for a potential psychiatric case, the man returned and charged at them, forcing the officers to shoot and kill him. His criminal record revealed that he had made a similar attempt in 2006, when he took a 63 year old neighbour in Königstein im Taunus hostage, which ended in him getting shot in the shoulder by SEK.2010-08-30L., Engelbert42KölnNordrhein-WestfalenAfter robbing a pharmacy in Merheim, a robber armed with a gas pistol was surrounded by several police officers. It is unclear what exactly occurred, but one warning shot was fired followed by multiple shots directed at the robber who was hit four times in the legs and once in the neck, killing him. 2010-09-19 Radmacher, Sabine 41 LörrachBaden-Württemberg 2010 Lörrach hospital shooting: A lawyer killed her husband and son at her apartment, which she then set on fire. She then went to a hospital, where she fatally shot a male nurse. The shooting and fire injured a further 18 people in total, including a police officer. The woman was later killed by SEK, who shot her 17 times. The deceased was a former sports shooter, although she had not been a member of a club since 1998, yet somehow still retained her weapons. 2010-12-10 B., Jaroslav 40 KarlsruheBaden-Württemberg : After a successful bank robbery at a Volksbank, the so-called "gentlemen robbers" opened fire on the arriving police. During the following shoot-out with the police, a female officer was shot in the thigh while the male robber was killed by the police by multiple shots to the chest. His 38 years old accomplice and wife shot herself after being wounded. The couple, Czech nationals originally from Dubenec, had been committing bank robberies in the state since 1995, striking a total of 21 times and stealing over 2 million euro. 2010-12-30 H., Doris 49 MünchenBayern A mental health clinic informed police that a former patient with psychosis and depression had called them and announced that she would kill her daughter. Firefighters broke open her balcony door at her apartment in Großhadern, after she failed to respond to police, then similarly threatened a 26-year old officer with a kitchen knife, walking towards him and cornering the officer on the balcony. After she did not react to pepper spray and ignored several warnings, the officer shot her once in the chest, dying at the scene from blood loss due to a pierced lung.
