Spiesen-Elversberg resident Andreas Johannes Schmitt, 38, is accused of singlehandedly killing the officers during a traffic stop near the U.S. Army installation in Baumholder during the early morning hours of Jan. 31 to avoid arrest on suspicion of poaching.
One of a pair of suspects in the fatal shooting of two German police officers near the U.S. Army installation at Baumholder in January was released from jail this week and is no longer accused of pulling the trigger.
One of the men accused of gunning down two German police officers Monday during a routine traffic patrol near the U.S. Army installation in Baumholder has had numerous brushes with the law, prosecutors said Thursday.
