At this point.....seven hours after the act, things are marginally laid out by the police.
Number of dead at this point? Eight, but at two locations.....maybe even a third.
So around 10 PM.....at the Hanau 'Midnight' hookah bar (popular with Turks)....some guy walks in and fires several rounds (3 dead at this location). One witness say nine total rounds.
It appears that this same shooter then walked out....drove his car about a mile (over to the Kesselstadt suburb....west of this first shooting), and walked into a second hookah bar. There, he killed five guys.
Cops then got a report of rounds fired over by Lamboy.....another Hanau suburb....probably 2 miles away from the second site. So far, no deaths noted there.
Shooter? No one arrested at this point that is involved in the episode.
The arrival of shisaha bars in the past twenty years? This is an odd thing of culture now in Germany. Just in the Wiesbaden city region, I would guess a minimum of twenty such bar operations. In Hanau, I'd be guessing near a dozen exist. The police will raid one or two a week in the region.....mostly over threatened violence or untaxed tobacco being used in the operation.
UPDATE: 5:30 AM. It appears that the police have found the shooter....dead, at some apartment in the Hanau area. Reporting right now says another body found there....dead as well. Total dead from the evening affair: 10.
