A former Jehovah’s Witness went on a killing spree at a hall belonging to the congregation in Hamburg before killing himself after police arrived, Germany officials say.

Six people were killed inside a Kingdom Hall of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, including an unborn child, police said without clarifying whether the baby’s mother was among the dead.
