A masked man took hostages at a cinema in western Germany on Thursday before police stormed the complex and shot him dead, police said.
No other people were injured, a police spokesman said.
The attacker, who carried a rifle or “long gun”, acted alone and appeared to have been a “disturbed man”, the interior minister of Hesse state, Peter Beuth, told the regional parliament.
Police had not identified the man or established his motive, spokesman Bernd Hochstaedter said, adding that nothing immediately pointed to him having a militant background.
