East German shooter, I assume?

Correct!

Actually, I was rather busy at the time for obvious reasons. After the two Cobra helicopters finished with the idiot, there was not much left of him.

As I was told later, it was an East German shooter responsible.

I would supect it was probably part of the Bader-Meinhoff gang. They were very active at that time. They put bombs in several military targets such as the Abrams Building and Officers club in Frankfurt, the Airforce Officers club in Weisbatten, and several other places. I don't think your incident made the newspapers because they would try to keep something like that quiet. You are lucky the guy didn't nail you because he was trying to kill you.
