(UPI) — Two U.S. military service members were taken into federal custody over the weekend after a 28-year-old man was stabbed to death during a fight between at least four people at a carnival in western Germany, officials said. The deadly confrontation occurred Saturday night after an argument escalated to violence at the Säubrenner fair in Wittlich, the U.S. European Command confirmed. Four people, including two men and two women, were seen running from the fairgrounds after the fight, police said. U.S. authorities plan to oversee the investigation “in accordance with the NATO troop statute,” German police said. The crime stunned the small town of Wittlich, where the fair has become a favorite pastime for the city’s low-key residents.
