Landshut, Germany : At least two people were killed and four wounded when an unidentified gunman went on a killing spree in a German court building Tuesday morning, police said.
An unnamed police spokesman said the armed assailant opened fire in several rooms of the district court in Landshut in south of Germany, located around 70 kilometers northeast of Munich.
According to witnesses, the attacker was attending a court hearing related to an inheritance case when he drew a gun and started shooting.
“The gunman is probably among the dead,” the police spokesman added.
The latest attack comes in the wake of last month’s tragic secondary school shooting in the south German town of Winnenden in which 16 people were killed and scores wounded when a former student went on a gun rampage.
