Police shoot the hero in gun incident

[Kellanved]

MUNICH - A man who disarmed a retiree on a rampage ended up being shot by jittery police in Munich as he made his escape.

Armed police were called to a yellow-painted city apartment building after a resident, 66, opened fire on neighbours with a small-bore rifle. He discharged 25 to 30 shots, seriously wounding three people.

Another resident grappled with him, managed to snatch the rifle away and ran out of the building. But the police thought the hero was the offender, and shot him in the arm, according to a law and order spokesman.
