Berlin:
Two persons had been killed Thursday in a shooting in a west German town, with police saying the situations surrounding the incident remained unclear.
A big police deployment was below way at the scene in Espelkamp, a town in Germany’s most populous state North Rhine-Westphalia.
The victims had been a man and a lady, a police spokesman told AFP.
Local media reported that the shooter was nevertheless on the run, but the police spokesman mentioned he could not confirm the details.
Germany was hit by a purchasing centre shooting rampage in Munich in 2016 when attacker David Ali Sonboly shot dead nine persons.
At least 35 persons had been also wounded through the attack, which started at a McDonald’s franchise and ended with the gunman turning his 9mm Glock pistol on himself.
