Two dead in Offenburg: Ex-girlfriend shot - Suspect had weapons illegally

On July 7, 2026, a man shot his ex-girlfriend multiple times in a residential area in Offenburg, Germany, before turning the gun on himself. The woman, a 36-year-old Ukrainian national, died later in the hospital despite resuscitation efforts. Police confirmed that the suspect, a 33-year-old Turkish citizen, did not possess a valid firearms permit or a weapon ownership card. Authorities found two guns at the crime scene and in the suspect’s car, though their origin remains under investigation. The couple had been in a relationship that ended several months prior, after which they reportedly filed mutual complaints against each other for insults, defamation, and stalking. The suspect was known to police but had no prior criminal record. Autopsies of both victims are scheduled for early next week to provide more insight into the incident.
