Saxony-Anhalt: Man shows a weapon at the early Halloween party

Merseburg (dpa/sa) - At an apparently early Halloween celebration with costumed people on the site of a gas station in Merseburg, a man showed a gun and ignited pyrotechnics. Among other things, two airsoft pistols were secured from the 38-year-old on Sunday evening, the police in Halle said on Monday. These are compressed air weapons that look confusingly similar to real weapons. Bullets made of different materials, for example plastic, are fired from them. Furthermore, the man did not have a driver's license, but drove to the gas station in a car. According to the police, several ads were made, including threats, violation of the gun law and insult.
