Die Welt newspaper reported that an armed man drove through the gates of Hamburg airport on the evening of November 4, forcing authorities to close the airport. The suspect reportedly fired two shots into the air and threw two burning bottles out of the car. Police said the man’s wife had contacted them and reported the possible kidnapping of a child.
