Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the deadly shooting at a Jehovah’s Witness centre in the German city of Hamburg. I’m Helen Sullivan, and I’ll be bringing you the latest. You can get in touch with me here.
Six people are dead and several injured, local media says. The perpetrators are on the run. Police have said several people died in the shooting.
“According to first indications, shots were fired in a church in Deelboege street in the Grossborstel district. Several people were seriously injured, some even fatally,” police wrote on Twitter.
Bild is reporting that the shooting took place at a Jehovah’s Witness church.
We will be bringing you updates as they come in.
Here is our report on the shooting:

Ok.....I guess.......I just had no idea what in the blue heck that comment had to do with me and especially since the only remark I made was specifically about the high quality handguns coming out of Germany. Thanks :-)
This can’t be true. We have been told over and over that this ONLY happens in the U.S.
“Not Antifa or other commies, since JW’s are against war and government in general.”
Jehovah’s Witnesses were targeted by the Nazis in WWII.
In the case of this guy....35 years old. Was a management consultant. Plain German, no ethnic background. Had been a member of the religious group up until 18 months ago, then departed in a unfriendly manner (police have interviewed members to reach this conclusion).
Some people (having known him) describe the guy as eccentric (avoiding term ‘crazy’). Gun license was achieved in the past year....no issues. Gun was legally purchased.
I’d just say from various stories reported...whichever way he departed the group...he held a grudge and this was on his mind constantly. Element of a mental breakdown fill in the holes of the story. I would be curious if he was under some mental healthcare, or on some medication.
Sound argument.
