There has been a stabbing almost right in front of my door, just one block down. Everyone in the flat (besides me) was hearing 5 gunshots, silence, and some additional shots and then hell broke lose.

Tons and tons of police cars, detectives, fire trucks and other official cars were rushing into the area, I have never seen such an amount of police force and news teams.

Each online news site is posting a different story right now, as you can read e.g. here and here. Although both are maybe not quite right because Nunu and I have been interrogated by a very friendly police officer and he told us what happened first hand.

That a detective off duty with his girlfriend was getting robbed and he killed both attackers, being himself severely injured by stabbing (to the neck).

in the video you can see how the police officer gets an escorted transport to the hospital:

oh, and Nunu (yes, the Nunu) has been visiting me for a couple of days (as you can read here, here, here, here , here, here, and here), having a lot of fun.
