Shisha bar shooting claims eight lives in Germany

Police say eight people were killed in two shootings at shisha bars in the western German city of Hanau.

Several other people were also injured after a gunman opened fire on Wednesday night.

In both places the customers were reported to have been predominantly Kurdish.

The suspect was later found dead at his home, along with the body of a second person.

The motive for the shootings is unclear and investigation is ongoing.

Reports say the suspect was a German citizen with a firearms licence, and that ammunition and gun magazines had been found in his car.
