quick-and-dirty translation:
Two men were shot by the police during a traffic stop in Frankfurt on Tuesday evening. According to the police spokesman the unidentified suspects opened fire from inside their vehicle and hit one officer in the shoulder. The officers returned fire and killed both suspects.
The police reported that a plain-cloth patrol had stopped the vehicle around 2200 h near downtown Frankfurt. When the two officers asked for DL and car registration both the driver and the passenger started to shoot at them. The driver was killed during the following firefight while the passenger died at a local hospital soon afterwards.
On Wednesday morning it was still unclear whether this shoot-out has any connections to an armed robbery that was reported in Frankfurt shortly before. The dead suspects are still unidentified. The police will announce further details today. The Hessian State Bureau of Investigation and the District Attorney declined giving any comments.
