Two shot dead near synagogue in Germany's Halle, suspect held; another Turkish restaurant was also targetted, say reports

Firstpost  

‘Early indications show that two people were killed in Halle. Several shots were fired,’ said police on Twitter, urging residents in the area to stay indoors Berlin: At least two people were shot dead on a street in the German city of Halle on Wednesday, police said, with media and witnesses reporting that a synagogue and a Turkish restaurant were the targets. An eyewitness, Konrad Roesler, told news channel NTV he was in a Turkish restaurant about 600 metres away from the synagogue when “a man wearing a helmet and military uniform” flung a hand grenade at the store. “We don’t have any indication about the motive of this act.” ‘Big threat’ Wednesday’s shootings came three months after the shocking assassination-style murder of local pro-migrant politician Walter Luebcke in the western city of Kassel, allegedly by a known neo-Nazi. Interior Minister Horst Seehofer last month warned of the rising danger of the militant far right, calling it “as big a threat as radical Islamism”.
