Two dead in German court shooting

LANDSHUT - Two people were killed and an undetermined number injured when a gunman went on a rampage in a German court building Tuesday, police said.

A police spokesman said the gunman opened fire in different rooms of the district court in Landshut, 70 km north-east of the Bavarian capital Munich.

Witnesses said the man was sitting in court during a hearing about an inheritance when he pulled out a gun and began shooting, n-tv television reported.

‘The gunman is probably among the dead,’ the police spokesman said.
