A tragic incident occurred in Bochum, Germany, on November 16, when police shot a 12-year-old deaf girl after she attacked officers with two knives inside her mother’s apartment. The child had been reported missing the previous day, with her family warning she urgently needed medication. She was later found staying with her mother, who is also deaf and had lost custody of her by court order. The girl had fled from a group home to return to her mother. During the police intervention, one officer fired his gun while another used a Taser. The girl sustained life-threatening injuries and underwent emergency surgery. Police described the case as a family tragedy and confirmed investigations are ongoing.
