Shooting in northern Germany: At least seven people killed, several others wounded - DW News
Police have reported several people were killed and a number of others injured in a deadly shooting in Hamburg in northern Germany. The incident was reported to have taken place at a Jehovah's Witness hall.
Police deployed special security forces to the area. The shooting occurred in a district of the city called Alsterdorf. Police said the background and potential motive behind the shooting during a Jehovah's Witnesses event were unclear. "We have no indications of a perpetrator on the run," a police spokesperson said at the scene. They said there are "indications that a perpetrator may have been in the building and may be even among the dead."
