Gunman Dead at German Movie Theater; No One Injured by Suspect, Police Say

By EMILY SHAPIRO Jun 23, 2016, 11:55 AM ET

A gunman is dead after an incident at a German movie theater in the town of Viernheim, a spokesman for German police in Hesse told ABC News. No one was injured by the gunman, the spokesman said.

German media have reported, however, that some individuals were injured in the incident, possibly from teargas police deployed when entering the theater.

The incident started after 3 p.m. local time when a man armed with a gun entered the theater in Viernheim, about 45 miles south of Frankfurt, according to German media reports.
