It's most difficult to stop these via a lone person than group for some reason.

Really hope authorities get in before fatalities occur.

A masked man who reportedly fired shots in a cinema complex in western Germany has been shot dead by police, the state's interior minister has said.

Peter Beuth told the state of Hessen's parliament that police stormed the Kinopolis complex in Viernheim, near Frankfurt, after shots were reported.

"The police thought that the gunman was holding hostages and because of that he was shot dead," he added.

Mr Beuth said no-one else had been hurt.

However, reports said some people were suffering the effects of tear gas released as police stormed the complex.

Heavily armed police surrounded the complex after the incident began on Thursday afternoon.

The Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper said it was unclear if there was a political or ideological motive, or if it was an attempted robbery.

Mr Beuth also said: "The police had an emergency call at 2:45pm [12:45 GMT]. The caller said there was a masked man... armed with a long gun. It is unclear whether it was a real gun.

"The caller heard four shots and said that the masked man appeared a little mentally unstable. Police special forces were called."

Ha! they don't mess about over there here it would probably be a 3 day event as they would try to talk them out, not saying which is best.

Wish people would stop trying to kill other people.

Unfortunately it's nothing new, it's just much easier these days.

We'd let him off as he didnt actually hurt anyone and the taxpayer would cover the therapy for his depression and or mental illness.

Surely the outcome where no one died would be the best? Rather than just kill him

Suicide by cop

Maybe I guess it depends on the circumstances l don't wish for a killing but it's not unknown for people to be declare safe later on to then go out and kill someone.
