Two dead in M16 shooting at German nightclub
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Kurdish Iraqi man armed with an M16 automatic rifle opens fire in a packed nightclub in southern Germany early Sunday after a dispute there, killing a bouncer and wounding four people before being shot by police.
The 34-year-old attacker “was critically injured in a shootout with police officers as he left the disco, and later succumbed to his wounds in hospital,” police say in a statement.
“Nothing suggests that there could have been an Islamist or terror background” to the attack at the club, says prosecutor Johannes-Georg Roth.
“Rather, everything points to a personal dispute that had escalated in an unspeakable manner,” he adds.
