Germany: 3 Dead after Family Shooting in Glinde

Three people died in a shooting in the German town of Glinde, media outlets reported on Monday.

Two children, aged 11 and 13, were shot dead, according to reports. Police failed to resuscitate a 44-year-old man found at the scene, while a 38-year-old woman was taken to hospital with serious bullet wounds.

Meanwhile, the Lübeck public prosecutor is investigating the suspected domestic violence incident, which took place in the southern part of the state of Schleswig-Holstein, outside the port city of Hamburg.

Reports indicated that the casualties are believed to be members of the same family who had been living in the home for some time.

The public prosecutor's office did not reveal who fired the shots or if the 44-year-old was the biological father of the children.
