Man suspected of Germany shootings found dead in home
The man suspected of two fatal shootings in the city of Hanau has been found dead at his home.
Police officers in Germany also found another body at the same address in the early hours of Thursday.
Police gave no details of the suspected gunman but said "there are currently no indications of further perpetrators".
At least eight people were killed and five wounded in the shootings in and outside two hookah lounges in the southwestern German city on Wednesday evening.
Mass-selling Bild newspaper reported the gunman was a German citizen and that ammunition and gun magazines were found in his car. He had a firearms hunting licence, it added.
Police said a dark vehicle was spotted leaving the location of the first attack and another shooting was reported later.
Police officers swarmed central Hanau, cordoning off the area of one of the shootings. A car covered in thermal foil also could be seen, with shattered glass next to it as forensic experts in white overalls collected evidence.
A short police statement gave no information on the identity or nationality of the victims and said a motive was not immediately known.
Hanau is located about 20 kilometres east of Frankfurt. It has about 100,000 inhabitants and is in Hesse state.
