Whoa, Germany has guns too!
 

As a proud gun toting American, I welcome our German brothers to the fold.

Four people were killed and at least one person seriously injured when a woman armed with a gun opened fire in and around a hospital in the southern German town of Loerrach, authorities said on Sunday.

"The situation is under control," said a spokesman for local police. The woman was among the four dead, he added.

Television pictures showed authorities had cordoned off several streets in the town near the Swiss border, where the shooting began at around 6 p.m..

Police said shots were first heard after an explosion in an apartment block in central Loerrach. Shortly afterwards, a woman armed with a gun ran out of the building, which caught fire.

The woman entered the nearby St. Elisabethen-Krankenhaus hospital and fired off several rounds, police said. She was then shot dead in an exchange of fire with police.

Police said two people were killed inside the hospital and that a police officer was seriously wounded. They added that the bodies of a man and a child were found in the apartment block, having previously said a woman and a girl were found dead there.

Local state prosecutor Dieter Inhofer told ZDF television investigators believed the deaths were all linked. However, the motive for the killings was still unclear, he added.

Germany has been debating tougher controls on gun ownership since a teenager went on the rampage in March 2009 in the southern town of Winnenden near Stuttgart, killing 15 people at his old school before shooting himself.

The boy's father went on trial on Thursday charged with failing to secure his gun properly. Both Winnenden and Loerrach are in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg.

Germany's worst school shooting was in April 2002, when a gunman killed 17 people, including himself, at a high school in the eastern city of Erfurt.

Yes that's what the world needs is millions of Germans with guns.

It seems last last century that idea kind of sucked...... TWICE.

idiots are not limited to certain places

If everyone in that hospital had a gun, she would've been put down after firing the first bullet.

and eight more people would probably be killed by stray bullets.

Indeed. But some places seem to have an uncanny large amount of them nonetheless :1orglaugh

Agreed... some people panic :2 cents:

but armed idiots are limited in germany :2 cents: other than in some "other" country ... i only hint towards it - you name it :winkwink:

third time they will do better :thumbsup

meeeh, serious ... german weaponary is a thread - we are known for it ... first jet plane, flying wing, first bullet proof tank, rockets and so on ... a small country not to be underestimated bout its "warhead" shit :winkwink:

Keep dreaming. Do you know how small Germany is? Stick to pushing around Poles and Czechs and Bohemians. Leave the world domination to the professionals.

lmfao! :winkwink: world domination was close way back then when the US was a sleeping giant :2 cents: and without germans you'd still be back in weaponary stoneage :2 cents: germany was THE leading military force back then ...

I apologze if my grandpa killed some of your Nazi relatives back in the 1940's but they were kind of asking for it.

gotta love this logic :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

The US? :1orglaugh

30% of US police use German guns.

lol, like GLOCKwork :thumbsup

These guns are everywhere.
There is no shortage of guns it seems...

Bohemians are not Czech? :1orglaugh

Hahaha, you think without the Germans the world would be using sling shots? Germany was never close to world domination, after invading a few countries their military was spread so thin they got their butts handed back to them.

SIG Sauer.

Glock is Austrian.
