German police say they do not have any information on the
assailant's motives but they do not believe he was a terrorist
A
masked man apparently armed with a rifle has been killed after taking people
hostage at a cinema complex in southwest Germany.
Initial reports suggested up to 50 people had been hurt but police say there were no
injuries.
German television showed pictures of heavily armed
police storming the Kinopolis complex in Viernheim and a couple running for
safety.
An employee, Guri Blakaj, told Reuters the man entered
the building at around 3pm and ordered staff into an office.
He then went into the cinema and fired a number of
shots.
Mr Blajak said the gunman was aged between 18 and 25
and about 1.7m (5ft 7in) tall.
Police spokeswoman at the scene, Christiane Kompus,
said he took several hostages.
Officers "successively entered the cinema and
were able to locate the man and the people he was holding," she said.
"There was a threat situation and the man was
then shot dead by a colleague."
Ms Kompus said police were at the scene for about
three hours and no-one else was hurt.
She had no information on the assailant's identity and
motives.
Another police spokesman, Bernd Hochstaedter, said
that "there are no indications at present of an Islamist background".
Hesse state's interior minister, Peter Beuth, said it
was not clear if the attacker's weapon was real.
He told the regional legislature in Wiesbaden the man
was masked and apparently fired four shots.
He was carrying a rifle or "long gun" and
appeared to be a "disturbed man".
The Kinopolis, a multiplex theatre, is located in a
shopping mall in Viernheim, which is near the city of Mannheim.
It was a hot afternoon and the cinema was relatively
empty at the time of the incident.
