An alarm was sounded on Monday night in the city of Aachen, Germany. Initially, there were reports of at least 15 hostages, but a little later the police statement gave new ground to the matter.
In particular, a 65-year-old woman entered the hospital and a little later smoke could be seen coming from her side. The workers immediately made sure that everyone moved away from them and evacuated the spaces next to her.
