Story came up yesterday, and there's probably one-hundred sources of news over it, but you come down to roughly four facts:
1. Young German guy (26 years old) had a weapon license.
2. The young guy shoots father, mother, and four older folks (unconnected to the family). All total, six dead. Two additional folks who were near the structure at the time are wounded, and appear to be just wounded. The four older folks were NOT inside of the house when the shooting started.
3. Guy goes and calls the police on himself.
4. Motive? All the police will say is that it was an argument brewing over a personal relationship. They aren't saying it was the 26-year old guy with the issue. It is oddly noted that the mother wasn't living in the house and appears that she had moved out.
Beyond that.....nothing else.
Mass shootings in Germany? Rare.....just plain awful rare. Now, if you were talking about a guy shooting one or two people....I'd go and suggest that this occurs maybe at least once a week, and typically involves some criminal group or drug-gang situation. But mass shootings are rare.
As for more motive explanation coming out of this? I think in the end.....the four older folks who were outside of the house.....simply were in the wrong-place, at the wrong-time.....maybe hearing the shots and being curious.
So if you hear hype or rumors, and suspect some terrorism angle? No.....no terror angle.
Update: Sunday afternoon (26th). It's come up today by locals in this village....this young guy was a gamer. He'd moved out of Mom's house three years ago, into dad's place (bottom floor being a pub). Occasionally, the young guy would help out on the pub.....but the bulk of his time was spent in his room....gaming. Regular job? No. Nothing.
