A large group of police closed the Bad Nauheim area, about 35 kilometers (21 miles) north of Frankfurt.
“There’s no danger to the residents or the public because things are standing at this point,” a police spokesman said.
The first report showed the suspect fled the scene.
“There have been signs of one perpetrator so far, but we cannot rule out the possibility that others may be involved in the crime either,” police said.
They did not provide details about the background or possible motives of the crime. No information has been released regarding the victim.
A helicopter was being used to search for suspects, the spokesman added, but neighbors and witnesses had been interviewed by police.
“We’ll then use the information we’ll get from now on for Manhunt,” the spokesman said.
