quote: Special forces have shot a man dead who stormed a cinema in central Germany, authorities have confirmed. Security officials say terror is an unlikely motive. Hesse's interior minister Peter Beuth told DPA that the man was shot dead after taking hostages inside a cinema in Viernheim central Germany on Thursday afternoon. No patrons of the cinema complex were injured and all have been released, Hesse state interior minister Peter Beuth told AFP. "We have no information that anyone was injured," Beuth said, after confirming that the lone gunman was killed in a struggle with police in the western town of Viernheim. Beuth told reporters that the man had entered the cinema wearing a mask and carrying a long gun. Four shots were fired, but an alarm was set off from inside the building shortly before 3 pm, alerting police. The man barricaded himself inside the building with hostages. It is not clear whether the man's weapon was lethal. Special police forces flew in from Frankfurt on a helicopter, overpowered the man and shot him dead. Security officials are also saying that they do not currently suspect that there was a terrorist motive. Photo: DPA. DPA have information from security sources that the man was psychologically disturbed. So far the motive of the man is unclear, as is anything to do with his identity. While police have said that the hostages were released uninjured, Bild reported that around 25 had been impaired by tear gas.

Mass shooting in Germany
But, CNN and the Dems told me these laws prevent mass shootings?!?

The German system of gun control is among the most stringent in Europe. It restricts the acquisition, possession, and carrying of firearms to those with a creditable need for a weapon. It bans fully automatic weapons and severely restricts the acquisition of other types of weapons. Compulsory liability insurance is required for anyone who is licensed to carry firearms. In recent years, German gun-control law underwent several reforms that made it even more stringent. A new Weapons Act became effective in 2003 after a school shooting in the city of Erfurt in which a student killed sixteen persons. The new Act restricted the use of large caliber weapons by young people and strengthened requirements for the safe storage of firearms. Another reform was enacted in 2009 in response to the massacre at Winnenden, in which an eighteen-year-old killed fifteen people in the course of a school shooting. This latest reform led to the creation of a federal gun register and to intense governmental monitoring of gun owners’ compliance with requirements for the safe storage of firearms. Pursuant to the reformed legislation, the authorities may at any time request access to the premises of any registered gun owner to monitor whether proper safe-storage procedures are being observed.

Are cinemas in Germany not gun free zones? How does this happen?

Close to Manheim, there used to be a lot of U.S. Kasernes down the road. Would not be surprised if they are now camps for refugees.

This is bizarre. No injuries. Gun may have fired blanks. The guy just wanted to die and scare people doing it?
