Seven people have been killed and several others injured in a shooting at a meeting hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in the northern German city of Hamburg.
Police say the gunman acted alone and is presumed dead. It is unclear if the attacker was among the 7 victims reported by German media.
"There is still no reliable information on the motive," the police say.
A number of people were also injured in the shooting on Deelbwge Street in the city's Gross Borstel district.
The police say that they found a dead person at the scene who they think may have been the perpetrator, but investigations are continuing.
They were called at around 21:15 (20:15 GMT) to reports that shots had been fired into the building, police spokesman Holger Vehren said.
He said that the police have not yet identified the victims and the work at the crime scene has continued.
