The event occurred on Saturday afternoon in Hagen, Germany. The initial quarrel involved a group of men near the playground, which eventually led to one or possibly two individuals drawing a weapon.

The victims, both of whom are 40 years old, sustained injuries in the incident. German media sources report that one of the injured is in a highly critical condition.

Manhunt by German police continues

Two men fled from the scene. The police have initiated a manhunt for these suspects. One of the suspects is described as being between 25 and 30 years of age, slim with black hair and a beard. "He was dressed in a slightly long black jacket and light-colored shoes," as reported by a German daily.

The police are urging anyone with information about this event, or those who observed two individuals fleeing the area, to come forward and assist in their investigation.
