Solingen shooting leaves 38-year-old man severely injured
On Wednesday morning, July 29 2024, residents of Solingen‑Ohligs reported gunshots around 08:45 on Düsseldorfer Straße. Police found a 38‑year‑old man with a gunshot wound inside a shop and transported him to hospital. About 400 metres away, investigators discovered bullet holes in the façade and shutters of a nearby gastronomy venue (Akasha Bar) but reported no injuries there.
The police and the Staatsanwaltschaft Wuppertal have classified the incident as an attempted homicide. Witnesses described a male suspect fleeing on foot toward Forststraße, while a silver compact car sped away from the area; its involvement remains under investigation. Authorities have said there is no ongoing danger to the public and continue to appeal for witnesses.
