German suspect in shooting that injured officer found dead

BERLIN (AP) — Police in western Germany say a man suspected of shooting at officers, seriously injuring one, has been found dead in his apartment. Saarland state police didn’t specify how the man had died but added that the investigation was “ongoing.”. The shooting began after officers arrived with a court order to search the 67-year-old suspect’s apartment Friday in the city of Saarbruecken. Police had planned to search the apartment in connection with alleged breaches of firearms laws. Authorities had previously ordered the suspect to hand over his guns. Police said the man started shooting from a window at a police barrier and vehicles. Later police announced that negotiations with the man had failed and officers were storming the apartment.
