Hamburg shooting: Seven killed in attack on Jehovah's Witness hall

Seven people, including an unborn baby, have been killed in a shooting at a Jehovah's Witness meeting hall in the German city of Hamburg, police say.

They say the gunman acted alone in Thursday's attack, and later took his own life. His motives are unknown.

The suspect, named only as Philipp F, 35, is a former member of the religious community, who had "ill-feelings".

Dramatic footage has now emerged that appears to show the suspect firing many rounds through a window of the hall.

At a briefing on Friday, the police said four men and two women were shot dead. A seven-month foetus was also hit in the womb - it died but its mother survived. All the dead were German nationals.

Eight people were injured, four seriously. A Ugandan and a Ukrainian were among those hurt. read more
