The accused had offered his ex-girlfriend to take her home from an event, explained police spokesman Markus Dittrich upon APA inquiry. The 16-year-old accepted the offer but wanted to be taken to a friend's place. When they arrived around 9:30 PM, it was not a girl waiting there, but the new boyfriend (17), which led to a confrontation during which the shots were fired.

The arrested 19-year-old was still in police custody on Saturday. According to Dittrich, he is being charged, among other things, with making dangerous threats.
