A special police task force detained three people in a refugee centre in southern Germany on Monday after hearing what appeared to be gunshots.<\/p>\n
It remains unclear where the gunshot noises came from or who may have fired them, a police spokesman said.<\/p>\n
The emergency call was received by the police around midday (1000 GMT). Officers surrounded the centre in the town of Uffenheim in northern Bavaria, and cordoned off a large area.<\/p>\n
The police spokesman said that special forces also heard gunshot noises coming from the building.<\/p>\n
One person initially left the building and was arrested without resistance, police said, while two more were detained in the attic.<\/p>\n
In the afternoon, police gave the all-clear on the social media platform X. “There are no casualties. There is no danger,” the post said.<\/p>\n
The police said emergency services would search the building for a weapon.<\/p>\n
