What we know so far

If you’re just joining us, a gunman opened fire just after 9pm on Thursday night in Hamburg, Germany. Here is what we know so far:

At least seven people have been killed in a shooting at a Jehovah’s Witness centre in Hamburg, Germany. 25 more were injured, eight of them seriously.

Police believe the perpetrator may have died in the attack. “We have no indications of a perpetrator on the run,” a police spokesperson at the scene said, adding that investigators instead have “indications that a perpetrator may have been in the building and may be even among the dead.”

The Hamburg police say that there is currently “no reliable information about the motive for the crime”. The police said on a Twitter post, “So far, there is no reliable information on the motive for the crime. We ask that you do not share unsecured assumptions and/or spread rumours.”

Police alerted people to an “extreme danger” in the area using a catastrophe warning app. Residents must stay indoors and avoid the area, police said, adding that streets surrounding the church have been cordoned off.

Hamburg’s mayor, Peter Tschentscher, has responded to the attack, calling it “shocking”. “The reports from Alsterdorf / Groß Borstel are shocking. My deepest condolences to the families of the victims,” he said.
