An incident occurred in the German city of Hirschberg involving a 26-year-old Ukrainian named Vladislav O., who threatened those around him with a knife and an axe. Law enforcement had to open fire to neutralize the man.

This was reported by Main Post, citing BILD.

According to reports, Vladislav, who had been living in a local shelter for over two years, displayed aggressive behavior by threatening the police with weapons. After being shot, he was taken to the hospital and underwent surgery, but details about his condition have not yet been disclosed.

The man was previously described as "very calm and good-natured," but he suffered from schizophrenia and depression. One of the local priests who knew Vladislav noted that he always seemed balanced and polite.

The local prosecutor's office has launched an investigation to determine the circumstances that led to the tragedy. Experts are examining what may have caused the sudden change in the man's behavior and how justified the police's actions were.
