With Politics as they are at the moment in Germany it's any ones guess who is responsible for this outrage. I hope the German Police get some leads soonest.

[Mamyalynne]

It's to be hoped they track them down quickly.

[ChillDoubt]

Latest report on BBC says 8 dead in 2 separate locations, both shisha bars.
Too early to speculate but given that info one would surmise the gunmen are far right fascists, or of that ilk.

[retrocop]

That was my thinking chill.

[albaqwerty]

according to talkradio's reporter, one person has been arrested.

[Mamyalynne]

Not yet confirmed but let's hope so.

//One suspect arrested – reports
German media are reporting that a suspect has been arrested but the police have not made any comment on that yet.

The mass-market newspaper Bild says one man has been arrested but that has not been confirmed by police.//

[Spicerack]

Far right fascist attack? Like all the other far right fascist attacks we've had in Europe.

[david small]

If this is the far right, expect a tit for tat situation to develop.

[waterboatman]

Even after being a Sergeant in the British Army, seeing service all over the world in places like Aden, Cyprus, Malaysia, Borneo, and Northern Ireland, I still cannot comprehend why people want to kill other people that they don't even know. Why can't they talk!

[emmie]

eight dead according to the news, perhaps there is some anti Muslim factions roaming the streets, won't know till later whether this is the case.

[scorpiojo]

//Police then tweeted at around 5am local time that special police force officers had stormed a home and found the alleged suspect dead along with another person.//

[rowanwitch]

Idiots...

Since taking so many refugees Germany is a powder keg waiting to go off. The resurgence of the far right there is always going to haunt us. I almost hoped for a moment it was an internal dispute between factions.

[emmie]

one of the perpetrators is dead, found at his home.. along with another apparently.

Do you ever actually pause and think/reason before you post?

[ChillDoubt]

Latest from the BBC:

The suspect was found dead at his home along with the body of his mother.
Federal prosecutors are treating the attack as terrorism, with officials saying there is evidence the gunman was a far-right extremist.
Police say the suspect killed himself. The Bild tabloid reports he was a German citizen with a firearms licence, and that ammunition and gun magazines were found in his car.

[emmie]

and that a letter was found detailing his reasons, this was on the news just now...

[Togo]

AS yet mental illness has not been diagnosed.

[Old_Geezer]

Surely that's a given.

[douglas9401]

Right wing assailants are not afforded the luxury of mental illness, only peaceful machete wielders qualify.

douglas - // Right wing assailants are not afforded the luxury of mental illness, only peaceful machete wielders qualify. //

Considered and helpful - as ever.

[youngmafbog]

Douglas does have a point though.

This is a far right (yes real far right) nutter.
