Apparently an armed man has shot up a cinema in Germany. There are 50 wounded and he is supposedly barricaded inside the cinema. I’ll be updating this post as more info becomes available.

Injuries in #Viernheim apparently from tear gas, not bullets! Wonderful news if correct that no one was shot. Gunman in custody.

Apparently the situation is under control. I’ll keep monitoring it, though. We still have no clue about what this guy’s motivation was or anything like that. But the good is that it looks like no one was seriously injured by the gunman.
