It's looking like 'mass shooting' is a bit of an overstatement. The guy has been arrested already, and it seems as if he was only armed with some sort of gas pistol that fired tear gas or something?

quote:

A masked gunman entered the Kinopolis cinema in Viernheim, near Frankfurt, with reports of at least 25 people injured, possibly from tear gas

German police have sealed off a cinema complex in Viernheim, in Germany’s Hesse region, after an armed man barricaded himself in a cinema. There have been no confirmed reports of whether the man has taken hostages.

According to Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper, the man entered the Kinopolis complex at about 3pm, wearing a mask and carrying a gun and a munition belt. The man is reported to have fired four shots.

Various German media are reporting that about 25 people have been injured, with Bild newspaper claiming the injuries are due to the use of CS gas.

German police’s special response unit have closed off an area around the cinema complex.

The motive of the gunman was so far unclear, Frankfurter Allgemeine reported, saying that several scenarios were being considered including a botched robbery, as well as a political or an ideological cause.

More details soon …

CNN's coverage sucks. They have text on screen saying the shooter is dead, while saying they don't know if he's dead.

4 shots leaving nobody dead and 25 wounded is actually much more consistent with Hol Horse's body count

And as long as we're trading avatar barbs, 4 shots killing nobody is also consistent with what happens when I play Tracer.

Or maybe they don't have a name/ await official confirmation before reporting the name. Like for every cases like this.

The injured were apparently injured by irritant gas, probably from the gun. They are speculating right now that he might have had a beef with the family-run cinema. The place where this happened was a bumfuck nowhere town and the cinema is some small mom&pop thing, early in the afternoon so there was basically nobody in there. Nothing really interesting happened.

yes, they have cs gas cartridges and are for self defense, one of the few types of guns you're allowed to have here. (still need a permit though) Horribly inefficient especially indoors, as you can imagine. There's a good chance the "shooter" got a good faceful of gas, too.

German authorities report dozens of people hurting themselves with tear gas canisters "like silly gooses." Man who witnessed incident arrested over posting his version of the story on Facebook. Polizei state that he violated the We Feel Really Guilty About The Nazi Thing So We're Wildly Overcompensating In A Way That Actually Empowers Fascism Act of 2003.
