German Chancellor Olaf Scholz expressed condolences to the families and friends of the police officers killed in a shooting in the Kusel region (Rhineland-Palatinate federal state) in the south-west of the country. The corresponding statement was made by him on Monday, January 31, in Twitter.
“What happened in Kuzel makes me very sad. My condolences to the families of the two young victims. And my thoughts are with the many police officers who risk their lives every day to protect us citizens,” Scholz wrote.
Now it is necessary to establish the causes of the incident as soon as possible, the German Chancellor added.
