Hamburg, shots during a rite of Jehovah's Witnesses: at least seven dead and eight injured

At least seven people were killed and eight injured in a church in Hamburg's Alsterdorf district. That's what Bild reports.

The assault took place around 9pm .

It may have been a person who acted during a celebration of Jehovah's Witnesses.

In fact, a dead person was found on the upper floor of the church of Jehovah's Witnesses: it could be the perpetrator of the massacre carried out in the building tonight , "but it is not yet one hundred percent certain that it is the aggressor".

This was stated by the police spokesman, speaking to the Ntv broadcaster. The police classified the massacre as a so-called "Amoktat", the German term used to indicate the gesture of a madman shooting into the fray.

The Hamburg police intervened massively in the neighborhood. The police have spread the alarm and have asked the residents to stay indoors , even if the danger has since ceased.
