The First Instance Court found that the Commission had neglected its duties as required by Article 85 (1) of the Treaty.

On August 25, 2025, an attempted homicide shook the quiet neighbourhood of Lübeck-Kücknitz. The incident, which occurred around 10:45 AM at the Westpreußenring, left a 63-year-old woman fighting for her life.

According to the Lübeck Public Prosecutor's Office, the suspect in this case is a 64-year-old man, a German national residing in Lübeck. The man allegedly fired a shot at his wife in their shared apartment, but the motive behind the attack remains unclear from the available information.

The woman was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, but it is now reported that she is no longer in critical condition. The Lübeck Criminal Investigation Department is currently investigating the incident on suspicion of attempted murder.

Following the application by the Lübeck Public Prosecutor's Office, the Lübeck District Court granted the arrest warrant and ordered the detention of the suspect on August 26, 2025. The suspect was arrested by the Lübeck Criminal Police and later taken to a detention facility. A weapon was seized at the scene.

The background of the incident is currently unclear and the subject of ongoing investigations. The Lübeck District Court's decision to detain the suspect indicates that there is enough evidence to suggest that the man is a potential danger to society.

As the investigation continues, the community of Lübeck-Kücknitz remains in shock, hoping for a swift resolution to this tragic event. The police urge anyone with information related to the case to come forward. The safety and well-being of the community remains their top priority.
