Man opens fire at German youth centre, killing six employees
Six killed in shooting at German youth welfare centre
At least six people were killed and several others wounded on Monday when a gunman opened fire at a youth welfare centre in the northern German city of Stade, near Hamburg, police said. Two people, including the suspected shooter, were detained within hours of the attack, which unfolded shortly after midday local time.
Five adults died at the scene and a sixth victim succumbed to injuries in hospital, Lower Saxony police confirmed in a series of statements issued throughout the afternoon. Four of the dead were women and one was a man; the sixth fatality was an adult whose gender has not been disclosed. Several victims remain hospitalised, some in critical condition, according to German news agency dpa and regional broadcaster NDR.
The shooting took place at a facility on Dankersstrasse that provides temporary accommodation for pregnant women and young mothers with children, police said. Officers sealed off the area and urged the public to stay away as specialist teams combed the site. Authorities have not identified a motive, but local media, including *Tagesspiegel*, reported that investigators were examining whether the attack stemmed from a “wider family tragedy” .
Two suspects were taken into custody: one is believed to be the gunman, while the second person’s role remains under investigation. Police in Lower Saxony stated there were no outstanding suspects and that the situation was under control. The state criminal office and federal prosecutors have assumed responsibility for the inquiry.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz was briefed on the incident and expressed his condolences to the families of the victims, a government spokesperson said. The federal interior ministry has dispatched a crisis team to Stade to support local authorities. Flags at federal buildings will fly at half-mast on Tuesday in mourning.
The attack has drawn swift condemnation across the political spectrum. Green party co-leader Ricarda Lang called it a “horrific act of violence against the most vulnerable” and demanded stricter controls on legally held firearms. The far-right Alternative for Germany party, which has been criticised for attempting to politicise the tragedy, issued a statement calling for tighter border security.
Stade, a historic port city of about 50,000 inhabitants roughly 45 kilometres west of Hamburg, has not experienced a mass-casualty shooting in recent memory. The last comparable incident in Lower Saxony occurred in 2016, when a lone gunman killed two people in a Hanover shopping centre before taking his own life.
