Seven Die In Shooting At Jehovah’s Witness Centre In Germany

At least seven people have been killed and others injured during a shooting at a Jehovah’s Witness centre in Hamburg, Germany.

Police say they found a dead person at the scene who they believe may have been the gunman but it is unclear if the perpetrator is among the seven casualties.

According to Deutsche Welle (DW), Holger Vehren, the police spokesperson, said it is likely that the perpetrator was either in the building or among the dead

Two witnesses said they heard 12 gunshots roughly at intervals of 20 seconds to a minute.

“There is no reliable information on the motive”, Vehren said.

“All we know is that several people have died here, several people have been injured, they have been taken to hospitals.”

Residents living nearby were initially warned not to leave their homes amid the ongoing police operation, but they were later told there was no longer a threat in the area.
