Violence erupted inside a gurdwara in Moers, leaving multiple people injured after two groups clashed during a prayer gathering. Witnesses reported chaos, with kirpans, knives, pepper spray, and a suspected blank-firing pistol used amid panic inside the premises. Nearly 100 police personnel, including a Special Task Force and a helicopter, were deployed to control the situation. Authorities recovered cartridge cases but found no active gunman; one suspect is in custody. According to reports by Bild and Neue Ruhr Zeitung, the clash may be linked to an internal dispute over gurdwara management and community funds. Investigations remain ongoing.
