4. This happened 3 hours ago

so it will take time to receive any news on this tragedy. A lot of families who need to be informed are probably coming home from vacation or weekend outings.

6. The German news network n24 is reporting...

four dead in an explosion and shooting (they used the German world Amoklauf, which describes someone running amok with a weapon) in the state of Baden Württemburg. The female attacker has been shot by the police.

To cut a long story short, from the report she walked into the hospital and opened fire with an automatic weapon.

7. I've just read the rest of the report.

The woman apparently ran out of a neighbouring appartment block in which an explosion had occured and the bodies of a woman and child were found there. She then entered the hospital and started shooting.

The big question is, where did she get an assault weapon. This is Germany 2010.

9. They will be asking that question indeed
