According to the district administrator, an FDP local politician was injured by several shots in Hattenhofen in Baden-Württemberg. The district councilor was injured and operated on Sunday night, but his state of health is stable, District Administrator Edgar Wolff said on Monday. The police confirmed the shots, but withheld information about the victim and all other information. The background to the crime is completely unclear, and there is no trace of the unknown shooter or shooters. The public prosecutor wants to comment on Monday.

"I am deeply affected and shocked by this act of violence," says District Administrator Wolff's letter to the members of the district council on the act in the community of around 3,000 inhabitants in the foothills of the Alb. Several media had previously reported on the shots.
