Apartment Dweller's Distressed Vocalizations Heard

In an unexpected turn of events, a role-playing game in the district of Brunswik, Kiel, led to a major police deployment early one morning.

The incident, which occurred on Holtenauer Street, started around 1:30 AM when a neighbour heard screams coming from an apartment. Suspecting a woman was being threatened with a weapon, the neighbour alerted the authorities, leading to a swift response from the police.

Upon arrival, the situation was not immediately recognizable as a game for the officers and the caller. With the assumption of an immediate threat to life, the police stormed the apartment. Fortunately, no one was injured during the incident, and it was later discovered that the screams heard were part of the role-playing game.

The police have emphasized the importance of communication and safety during role-playing games, film shoots, or similar activities. They urge those planning such activities to inform their neighbours beforehand to avoid any misunderstandings.

Clear marking of realistic-looking weapons is advised during these activities. It is recommended to avoid using such weapons to ensure the safety of all involved and to avoid any unnecessary police responses.

Despite the incident, a piece of positive news for the city is the announcement of a well-known brand moving into the former "Karstadt-Sport" location in the city centre. However, this news is not directly related to the previous incident.

The specific individual who conducted the role-playing exercise that led to the large police response is not identified in the available search results. The police appeal serves as a reminder for everyone to exercise caution and communication when engaging in activities that might appear serious to outsiders.
