Five people were killed in a mass shooting in the northern German city of Stade on Monday.
Two suspects have been arrested, a police spokesperson told news agency AFP. According to police, shots were fired near a youth facility, and they are currently conducting a large-scale operation outside the town centre. “We ask you to leave the area and give it a wide berth for your own safety,” police said in an X post.
Germany has more restrictive gun laws than those in the US, and mass shootings are less frequent.
Stade, which is located west of Hamburg, has a population of around 50,000 people.
