Two people were killed Wednesday in a shooting in the eastern German city of Halle and the suspected assailants fled, police said.

Several shots were fired and the suspected assailants then fled in a car, police said in a tweet. They urged residents to stay in their homes or indoors.

A short time later, police reported that one person had been arrested. They gave no information on that person. Pictures from the scene showed a body lying in the street behind a police cordon.

Police didn’t give any further information, but said officers were out in force in the city hunting down the suspects.

They gave no details about the target of the attack and there were varying reports. The Bild and Mitteldeutsche Zeitung newspapers reported that the shooting took place near a synagogue – Wednesday is the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur.

Two dead in shooting ‘outside a synagogue’ in Halle, as German police urge people to stay indoors

Evil never sleeps.  I know J. Kb. is packing and hopefully there are no idiots in the area that would like to asses his performance with  firearm.

Everybody else, stay frosty.

  1. Sounds like your typical American Republican white supremacist, what with using a grenade and all. Oh, and ban assault rifles.(end sarcasm)

  2. Nothing is clear yet.
    From the videos it looks like one was using a single round shotgun and it was reported a “blank firing” Schpagin was used (my guess is it was converted to live ammunition).

    Could be Neonazis, could be unhinged leftists, could be muslims. That the police is not saying who the guy is they caught *could* say that it’s a muslim – because a right wing assailant would be paraded through the streets by now.

    Well… after the attack with a truck a few days ago (luckily noone was killed) by a Syrian and the attack on a synagogue in Berlin also a few days ago (noone was hurt but the Syrian attacker was free to go because “he just threated the police with a knife”(!) ) it certainly is an “interesting” week in Germany.

    Also one guy shoot 5 people in Kitzingen on the weekend but that was a family drama.
