Damn, I hope the shooter is acting on his own and incompetent; don't want to see a repeat of the slaughter in Florida.
Shooting at German cinema leaves 25 wounded
I suspect this is going to get worse, because I can't imagine how you could shoot 25 people and only wound all of them. :(
Is this ongoing? I hope the German Police can get this person quickly.
BBC says that most of the injuries are simply from tear gas in a confined space :

Shooter is dead.
News are still sketchy but Spiegel reports that the shooter may have used a gas pistol.
Thank goodness no deaths being reported (other than the shooter).

Good. Suicide?
From the German press, the police stormed the place and killed him.
Well done Polizei.

Huh. Not sure what to think about that.

Would not be surprised if it is another nutjob with a history of mental disorder.
Sure would be nice if for once the initial story does not turn out to be as bad as you think.

A excellent example of an inside joke?
Was he a Muslim terrorist supported by thousands, or a white lone-wolf with a mental disorder acting alone?
The latter. 19 year old German.

What is the deal with the gas pistol? Did he just want to make everybody very sick for awhile?

Not according to the police. They don't think there was any terrorist motive to this deed. He didn't threaten any particular persons and all his weapons were just blanks or fakes. The working assumption seems to be that he wanted to commit suicide by cop.
Well this is one bizarre story. Pity they killed the kid in that case.
He had eight children as hostages and fired four blanks before they killed him. In this case, I think the police acted appropriately. They had no way to know that his weapons just fired blanks and that he probably wouldn't actually hurt the children. As soon as a kidnapper starts shooting, there are not many options left for police.

I am not faulting the police just to be clear. Just too bad.
