Germany: mass shooting attempt that killed two was antisemitic attack, minister says
Source: The Guardian
Two people died and two more were severely injured in the eastern German city of Halle on Wednesday after a gunman in a military-style outfit tried to force his way into a synagogue in an attempted mass shooting.
Authorities in the city in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, home to 230,000 people, said they were dealing with a “rampage situation” after several shots were fired in the Paulus quarter north of the city centre at about midday.
In a chilling echo of the Christchurch mosque shooting, the gunman recorded the attacks on a head-mounted camera and uploaded it online with an antisemitic and rightwing extremist rant. German media identified the killer as Stephan Balliet, a 27-year-old German citizen from the town of Eisleben in Saxony-Anhalt .
One woman was shot dead outside the synagogue near a Jewish cemetery and one man killed in a nearby kebab shop.

It's not a joke. Dangerous ideals like this get people killed. Fuck white supremacists.
