Germany's gun laws

At least five people were killed in a shooting at a German youth welfare facility. Germany’s gun laws are more restrictive than those in the United States, and mass shootings are rare but not unheard of.

Five people were killed in a shooting at a youth welfare facility in Stade, northern Germany, with two suspects arrested. The incident occurred at a facility providing temporary accommodation for pregnant women and young mothers, and additional victims were wounded, though police confirmed no public danger.
