The death toll from the Stade shooter has risen in Germany

In the German city of Stade, located in the federal state of Lower Saxony, the death toll from a shooting at a youth welfare center has risen to six. Five people—one man and four women—died at the scene, while the sixth victim died later in the hospital from severe injuries. 

According to law enforcement officials in Lüneburg, all of the victims of this attack, without exception, were adults.

The shooting took place on Dunkerstrasse in the southern part of the city, within a complex that, among other things, houses temporary housing for pregnant women and young mothers with children. Several other injured people are currently in medical facilities, some of whom are in critical condition, so police have not ruled out the possibility of the death toll rising further. Investigators quickly detained two suspects, one of whom, according to preliminary information from law enforcement, is the direct perpetrator of the crime, and efforts are currently underway to determine the motives and circumstances of the tragedy.

In the German town of Otterndorf in the state of Lower Saxony, police launched an investigation after far-right and neo-Nazi music was played over the official sound system at a local Christmas market.
