Stade shooting latest: Six killed and two detained after attack at German youth centre | World News | Sky News https://share.google/QVIbPOtsGP9Mng6mu

Horrific, just horrific. A man is told no and takes 6 lives. A place where the priority is to keep women and children safe. Only saving grace is no mothers or children were killed.

The BBC report says it's a centre for mothers snd children.
"Six people have been fatally shot at a centre for mothers and children by a suspect who was in a custody dispute over his baby daughter, German police say."

Of course it’s a relief that no children were killed, but 6 adults were. No one can possibly know if any of those adults were parents or not, and I’m not sure why it’s relevant.

The report you’ve linked to describes the location as a “youth facility” not a Mother and Child unit. It’s unclear what kind of location it was and the suspected perpetrator was there for a custody hearing.

Fucking men.

4 women and two men were killed.

Really? No mothers or children killed. Are the adults that died less worthy as they are not mothers? The mind boggles.

OMG that’s terrible. How on earth did he get the gun?! It says he was known to the police and didn’t have a firearms licence.
