At least two people have been hurt after shots were fired near a courthouse in western Germany, where a high-profile murder trial is taking place.
Police in the city of Bielefeld said they could not rule out a connection with the case, linked to the death of a former boxer nearly a year ago.
A suspect is currently being tried on suspicion of the murder of Besar Nimani, a German professional boxer who competed in the light middleweight division.
Several shots were fired in a street near the state court on Wednesday, but there has been no update on the condition of those injured.

Mr Nimani, who was originally from Kosovo, was fatally shot in the street in Bielefeld last March.
German police began a search for two suspects and a 38-year-old man was arrested in Brussels in July. He is on trial for murder, while a second suspect is still being sought.
