Eight people were killed in two shootings at shisha bars in the western German city of Hanau, police say.
Several other people were also injured after a gunman opened fire at 22:00 local time (21:00 GMT) on Wednesday.
In both places the clientele were reported to have been predominantly Kurdish. The suspect was later found dead at his home, along with the body of a second person.
The motive for the shootings is unclear. An investigation is ongoing.
Bild newspaper reported that the suspect was a German citizen with a firearms licence, and that ammunition and gun magazines had been found in his car.

Some update in last 20 minutes...whoever this guy is...he’d put out a YouTube video several days ago talking over conspiracy theories and addressing a lot of criticisms of migration in Germany. Oddly, he was licensed to hold a gun...which means the police had conducted a review of the guy in the past (it might have been two decades ago).
Added note, when they found his body back in the apartment....the second body there was his mother.
“German citizen” name Mohammed?
Ahhh! The joys and vibrancy of multiculturalism!

Well, that’s an interesting intersection of facts.
Re: the second body was his mother
She cut off his allowance?
Told him to move out and find a job?
She discovered his photo stash of fantasy girlfriends?
None of these ‘pieces’ to the story fit well.
They had an image of his car being picked up by the cops this morning....newer model BMW. You couldn’t afford that being a ‘loser’ or welfare-case.
Guy was a German (not a Turk or other non-German).
Guy had a fairly active social media scene. He just didn’t care for the multicultural scene of Germany.
Guy had a active gun license (he’d passed all their reviews).
Guy was NOT on any watch list as far-right wing extremist.
Appearances suggest that the guy shoot his own mother, as part of the act.
A couple of hours ago, I would have suggested the shooting was a crime-gang revenge deal. Evidence now suggests one single shooter...some German guy with a death-wish agenda.
But I will say this...after the second shooting report came up....massive amount of cops in the region, and others from Bavaria called in. They swarmed across Hanau in a massive way by 2 AM.
Many thanks for the details.
It usually takes weeks to extract any meaningful information from the German press or German law enforcement.
One thing I will never understand...
Lone wolf, right wing, mass shooters NEVER change anything, and they frequently cause an electoral backlash.
But EVERY freaking year they keep doing the same thing.
Fighting back on jihad with their own jihad
8 people killed at the shishas and the perp found dead at home with another dead there, too. I think that is 10, not nine.
But EVERY freaking year they keep doing the same thing.Insanity.
Sounds like the Germans are about fed up.
Batshit crazy.
German cops put the deaths at nine total from the two bars. Then you add in the shooter himself dead (cops say he killed himself at home) and his mother (72 years old) is dead as well.
Gotta stop the narrative that is being pushed by the media. There is nothing “right wing” about this guy. He was a purported neo-Nazi, making him a socialist, thus: left-wing.
This lie must not continue.
White = “right-wing.
He was giving them a “whitelashing”...
