It was already two days ago, conducted by a righ wing German. He also killed his mother and himself and some immigrants. Too sad. The video is here below: www.cnn.com/2020/02/19/europe/hanau-germany-shootings-intl/index.html Nine killed at two shisha bars in Germany in suspected far-right attackBerlin (CNN)A gunman suspected of killing nine people at two shisha bars in Germany is believed to have a far-right background, prosecutors said Thursday, sparking outrage across the country as it grapples with the rise of rightwing extremism. The attack took place on Wednesday night at multiple locations in the city of Hanau, near Frankfurt. Federal prosecutors are treating the mass shooting -- one of the deadliest in Germany in years -- as an act of terrorism. Authorities believe the suspect, 43, returned home after the rampage and shot himself. He was found dead in his apartment early Thursday, along with the body of his 72-year-old mother. Both died from gunshot wounds, according to the region's interior minister, Peter Beuth. Chancellor Angela Merkel said the suspect appeared to have acted out of "right-wing extremist, racist motives" and described hatred as a poison in German society. Prosecutors said the suspect did not have a criminal record but had posted xenophobic conspiracy theories online.

It is such a shame these nine lives taken away by this shooter. To simply call the man a nut is to take away from him the personal responsiblity that is his and his alone. For it is quite clear by his actions, he had pre-planed his crimes in advance then placed his plan in to action.
The only good that comes from this incident, is the man is dead by his own hand and will not repeat his crimes.

Karl,
It is a fact that rightwing extremist terrorism exists in our Western World and that we have to live and deal with it. There are some wolves amongst us who pray on the innocent. The intelligence agencies, the special police forces and the public prosecutors will have to deal with this threat.
Cheers, Pieter

Old German lady who grew up in the Nazi (Third Reich era): "I think the Alternative for Germany party is quite like the party that I grew up with and that were the Nazi's. I don't know if it is actually like that, but you think about it (...man mach sich so seine gedanken), because ypu remember how it was and how it all started."
