BERLIN (Reuters) - A gunman took hostages at a cinema in western Germany on Thursday before police shot him dead, a police spokesman told the N-TV television channel, adding that no other people were injured.
German television showed pictures of heavily armed police, wearing helmets and body armor, storming the Kinopolis complex in Viernheim and a couple fleeing the building.
German media said earlier that the masked man had opened fire at the cinema complex in the small town near Frankfurt.
Police shot the man dead after elite forces stormed the complex, the Mannheimer Morgen newspaper reported, citing the interior minister of Hesse state. The man was described as "disturbed".
Bild daily said that according to police about 25 people had been exposed to tear gas.

It’s the dumb way Europeans use the English language. Even the UK Daily Mail does it.

They wanted to kill him again? Reminds me of that movie with Sean Connery and Nick Cage at Alcatraz.

Yeah they are using dead as a verb, dead is not a verb.

I think ‘dead’ modifies the verb ‘dead’ and is not meant to be an adjective for the noun ‘gunman’.

I’m sure the Red Army Faction was disturbed too. /sar

Bad, or should I say lack of, punctuation usage.
Police shoot dead, gunman who took hostages in German cinema.
But yes I agree, the way it is written is totally wrong.

Whoops, got that wrong! Should be:
I think ‘dead’ modifies the verb ‘shoot’ and is not meant to be an adjective for the noun ‘gunman’.

Right. The correct term is “adverb,” since it modifies a verb. They shot him dead.

on second thought dead can be used as an adverb so maybe “shoot dead” is correct usage where “shoot” is the verb and “dead” is the adverb. English grammar is not really my thing. However there are plenty of grammar police here is straighten this out for us.

It’s still sketchy but it sounds more like suicide by cop than a hostage situation.
