HAMBURG, March 9 (Reuters) – A gunman in Germany shot dead seven people including an unborn child before killing himself at a Jehovah’s Witness worship hall in the city of Hamburg, police and prosecutors said on Friday.
The 35-year-old, a German citizen and former Jehovah’s Witness, used a semi-automatic pistol he had legally owned since December in the shooting on Thursday evening, a Hamburg state prosecutor said at a joint news conference with police.
