Singer Kim Jin-pyo shared his experience of being forced to evacuate urgently due to a shooting incident at a hotel in Hamburg, Germany. The location where the incident occurred was the room directly next to the one Kim Jin-pyo was staying in.
On the 10th, Kim Jin-pyo posted on his SNS (social media) details of the situation during the shooting incident he experienced in Hamburg, Germany, accompanied by several photos.
Kim Jin-pyo stated, "I stepped out of my room to check out, but a police officer holding a gun was standing in front of the elevator with his finger on his lips, telling us to be quiet and gesturing for me to go back into my room." He continued, "In that moment, I was so flustered that I frantically searched for my key card and rushed back into my room. When I looked out the window, the peaceful scenery had completely vanished, and it appeared the hotel was being sealed off."
After returning to his room, Kim Jin-pyo hid in the bathroom upon hearing gunshots from nearby. He recounted, "I heard four gunshots. The sound was extremely close. I ran into the bathroom like a madman and locked the door," adding, "I could feel my adrenaline pumping out like crazy."
Armed police officers and emergency medical personnel were dispatched to the area around the hotel, and the movement of guests was restricted. Kim Jin-pyo said, "Snipers appeared. The room was still under control, and no one was leaving the building." In particular, he learned through a drone deployed at the scene that the incident had taken place right next to his room. He stated, "The drone positioned itself in front of me and kept filming only my neighboring room. That is when I realized. Ah, it's my neighbor's room."
After restrictions were lifted and he safely left the hotel to head to the airport, Kim Jin-pyo confessed, "Today's incident was so shocking that I am still somewhat in a state of agitation, and it seems like I will develop some kind of trauma."
According to local German media, on the morning of the 10th, a 68-year-old man fired a gun at a residential building in Hamburg's HafenCity, injuring a 39-year-old woman and a 40-year-old security company employee. The suspect was later found dead in a hotel room located in the Elbphilharmonie building nearby. Police believe the suspect took his own life.
The bodies of the suspect's 65-year-old wife and 90-year-old father-in-law were also discovered at the suspect's residence. Police are investigating on the assumption that the suspect killed the two individuals before moving to Hamburg.
This incident is understood to have stemmed from a conflict between family members.
