The NYT:

"German police shot and killed a United States Army soldier in Bavaria after he took a former girlfriend hostage, the local police said Friday. According to the police, the 30-year-old soldier, armed with a military-issue M-4 assault rifle, broke into the German woman’s apartment in the town of Königsberg on Thursday night. He tied her up, but she still managed to escape and notify the police. . . When police officers attempted to arrest him, the soldier threatened them with his gun, leading them to open fire, according to an official statement released by the Unterfranken district police. . . The soldier belonged to the 2nd Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, known as the '“Dagger' Brigade, according to an Army news release. . . It was not immediately clear whether the soldier had served in Iraq, but his brigade has been deployed there twice, with the last troops returning from the most recent deployment on Nov. 27."
