Two German police officers were shot dead on Monday January 31 during a roadside check, police said in the city of Kaiserslautern, in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, in the south-west of the country. The police say they have launched a vast search operation for the murderers on the run.
The two officers, a man and a woman, were shot dead during a routine check on Monday around 12:20 a.m. on a road near Kusel, a town not far from Kaiserslautern. The police said they did not know the killers’ motives and urged motorists not to pick up hitchhikers.
“No description of the perpetrators or the vehicle used for the leak has been established”, said the Kaiserslautern police, who also said they did not know in which direction the killers fled. The search operations have been extended to the neighboring regional state of Saarland, not far from the French border, the police said on Twitter.
