Yvonne Kussmann reported, citing the spokesperson for the Ministry of the Interior of Baden-Württemberg, that the 27-year-old Afghan entered Germany in December 2015 and applied for asylum. The BAMF rejected the application in January 2018 and threatened deportation to Afghanistan. A lawsuit by the man was dismissed by the administrative court in July 2021. Since then, he has been subject to enforceable deportation. Because deportations to Afghanistan were suspended from August 2021, he initially remained in Germany. After the federal government, under Interior Minister Dobrindt, organized regular deportations to Afghanistan again and obtained replacement documents more frequently, the government presidency of Karlsruhe initiated a passport procurement procedure for the man. His identity had been unclear until then. In early October, the local regulatory office delivered him a letter asking him to report to the General Consulate of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in mid-October. This did not happen. It is still unclear whether this is related to the incident in the Tuttlingen town hall, where the man appeared with a firearm and was shot by police officers after allegedly firing at them first, Kussmann wrote. According to Kussmann, the man had been convicted in Germany of bodily harm, trespassing, property damage, theft, and threats, resulting in fines. From October 2025 to April 2026, he served a substitute prison sentence. He was not registered with the special unit for dangerous foreigners in Baden-Württemberg. #Tuttlingen #Asylrecht #InnereSicherheit (translated)
