Verdict: The shooting during police operations in Nenzing was justified – Nenzing

The regional administrative court rejected the complaint against a Corona police operation in Nenzing in March. At the time, a police officer investigating a suspected “crown party” fired two warning shots with his service weapon in the Ramschwag ruins. On the other hand, three walkers filed a complaint. The sentence is final, it is possible to appeal to the Constitutional and Administrative Court.

The operation took place on March 20, when police officers followed up on indications of an unauthorized “crown party.” The three applicants interpreted the police shots as warning shots, which were also aimed at them. According to the executive, however, they were shots from internal signals. They were informed that a group of youths near the castle ruins would not keep their distance, the executive said at the time.

One of the two police patrols searched the group of people present, the other two officers separated in search of other people they suspected in the rugged forest surrounding the ruins. Because his radio did not work after several attempts, one of the officers fired two shots one after the other from his service weapon into the air to get reinforcements, according to the regional administrative court in its press release this Thursday.

At that time, the official had not seen the complainants or anyone else and there was no one in their immediate vicinity. Since no warrant was issued to the complainants as a result of the shooting, and thus no action against them, the complaint was not admissible, according to the regional administrative court.

Appeals against the final decision can be filed with the Constitutional and Administrative Court within six weeks.
