According to police and public prosecutors, four people were killed in shootings in Lower Saxony. The suspect is a soldier who turned himself in.
The four victims, including a child, were shot overnight in the two joint communities of Scheeßel and Bothel in the Rotenburg (Wümme) district between Bremen and Hamburg, the authorities said in a statement.
The suspect, a German soldier, turned himself in to police shortly after the shooting, they said. His motive was not immediately clear, but they said that “a family-related motive cannot be ruled out.”
According to media reports, those killed were a friend of the suspect’s former partner and a child. The bodies of the new partner of the perpetrator’s former partner and his mother were found at a second crime scene.
A Molotov cocktail is said to have been found when the suspect’s car was searched. Whether the murder weapon came from the Bundeswehr is currently the subject of investigations.
