kinda hard to imagine that many could be injured without some fatalities.

Germany has some of the strictest gun laws...hmmm...so how could this happen? /s

German media reports:

Gunman has been killed. No other fatalities.
At least 25 injuries from tear gas.
Unconfirmed reports that it was a blank-firing gun.

the problem must be that since Germany does not have a 2nd Amendment, they do not have universal background checks

Gun Free Zone stickers anywhere in sight? Or is that just a given in the EU.

"How did they stop him? With guns, or with love?"

As I noted on another thread, if the shooter is muslim we may never know the motive.

The least likely of all suspects. Extreme sarcasm.

They’re assuming it’s Moslem.

I never jump to that conclusion myself unless there are more earmarks than a simple shooting. MOs have MOs, especially true terrorism (conspiracy by a group, not individual action like Orlando).

Unfortunately, many here co-opted the “Amish” joke and apply it to blacks. Not at all as applicable because Amish are religious and Moslems are religious. Black is a race. I wish that bad joke would stop; apples and oranges.

What, the movie theater had armed guards? Stone fortifications? Machine-gun emplacements?
Or is this like all the other incidents where the terrorist or lunatic just walked in?

If only they had a "no-guns" sign.

Germany is another gun free zone. Those darn guns just can't stop themselves from shooting people. No matter where they are, ALL anti firearms folks are either frauds and liars or utopian idiots.

I know. I personally feel 100% safe once I'm in a building with a "No Guns" sign, especially if it's bilingual and includes a non-verbal red-x graphic. I'm sure nobody would ever disobey a sign!

The latest media reports talk about the gunman being dead and tear gas being involved in the incident.

ARD German television is scrolling information underneath a previous broadcast unrelated to the shooting.

BBC World News and MSNBC with Brian Williams trying to get back into the spotlight seem more interested in covering this news right now.
