Still waiting to decide whether this will be a rolling coverage or if the story will be forgotten, depending on the complexion and religion of the suspects

Not living in or following much German news so I’m curious what flavor of racism this is.

He’s saying that we will hear about it more only if the person isn’t white, meaning that yes there is a racism problem

Custody dispute. From the article:

The suspected gunman was a 45-year-old Turkish national born in Germany and living in Hanover, Lueneburg police chief Kathrin Schuol said.

He had an appointment at the centre on Monday “with many of the victims” to discuss the custody of his daughter, Schuol added.

She said he was known to police “in relation to threats” but had not been considered “as a particularly violent individual”. He did not have a firearms licence.

The suspect initially fled the scene in a car driven by a woman, Schuol said.

One eyewitness told news outlet Focus Online that police shouted “stop where you are” at the man and woman and then fired repeatedly at the vehicle.

Footage published by Bild newspaper showed police at a roadblock on a nearby country road stopping a Mercedes with a blown-out tyre.

Armed officers are seen in the clip telling the occupants to get out and detaining them as they lie face down in the road.

(It seems the suspect’s child and her mother were in the building but weren’t harmed.)

RIP. I guess Germany’s vaunted firearm controls were insufficient?

“someone died in a carcrash today, so much for those vaunted seatbelts and airbags”

Please take your personal insults elsewhere. Mine is an opinion, I am not the story.

It is so revealing that instead of expressing sympathy towards the dead kids, you attack the opinion of someone who did express sympathy. Germany’s gun control failed.

Nothing can work 100%, all the rules and regulations exist to minimize the bad outcomes, it is impossible to fully prevent it, and, the main issue is that your framing makes it look like “other” crountry’s lack of gun laws is the right way to do it, ignoring the massive difference in number of deaths by shooting.

PS: You initial comment does not have a iota of sympathy towards anyone, less alone kids, you just criticized the German gun laws as ineffective.

You’re right they should be abolished because if they only stop 99% of people intending to shoot others then they are useless hurr durr.

The fuck is going on in here.

Unlike the US they’ll probably react to this event and further reduce their already low firearm homicide rate.
