'Gun deaths' at German hospital


Police are investigating on whether a reported explosion opposite the hospital is related

At least two people have been killed and one seriously injured in a shooting at a hospital in Germany, reports say.

The incident took place in the south-western town of Loerrach, close to the French and Swiss borders.

A woman reportedly walked into the Saint Elizabeth hospital and started firing with an automatic weapon. She was said to be one of the dead.

Police said they had sealed off the area and the situation was now under control.

The incident took place at about 1800 local time (1600 GMT). Police arrived within 15 minutes of the shooting but it was unclear how long the woman had been in the hospital grounds.

The BBC's Tristana Moore in Berlin says police are also investigating reports of an explosion at a building opposite the hospital, where two bodies were said to have been found.

Officers are investigating whether there is a connection between the two incidents.

The identity of the woman is not yet known and no immediate motive has so far been given for the shooting.

What are you talking about, you racist backwards redneck? Banning all guns would end gun violence immediately, cause after all, if all guns were illegal, nobody would have them. Right?
