Special forces have shot a gunman dead who stormed a cinema in central Germany, leaving dozens wounded, authorities have confirmed to local media.
The armed man entered a cinema in Viernheim in central Germany on Thursday afternoon, Hesse and started shooting.
Hessischer Rundfunk is reporting on information from the interior ministry in Hesse that the gunman is now dead. Bild reports that police fatally wounded him through gunfire.
The masked man entered a multiplex cinema in the small town just north of Mannheim. Focus is reporting he was armed only with a blank firing gun.
Public broadcaster Hessischer Rundfunk and Bild daily said that at least 25 people were hurt through teargas.
The man is said to have fired shots and barricaded himself in the cinema in the western town of Viernheim.
According to the Darmstädter Echo the gunman had taken hostages.
A German police spokesman only confirmed "an unclear threat situation".
AFP reported on Twitter that several people have been injured. Bild is also reporting that at least 25 people have been injured.

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.

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.
