Far-right Motive Suspected in Deadly German Shooting Attack

Associated Press

   HANAU, GERMANY - Federal prosecutors said Thursday they are taking
   charge of the investigating into a shooting in the German city of Hanau
   that left 11 people dead, including the suspect, amid reports that he
   may have had a far-right motive.

   The Federal Prosecutors Office in Karlsruhe, which handles serious
   crimes, said it planned to hold a news conference later Thursday.

   German news agency dpa reports that police are examining a video the
   suspect may have posted online several days earlier in which he details
   a conspiracy theory about child abuse in the United States. The
   authenticity of the video couldn't immediately be verified.

   Nine people were killed at two hookah bars overnight. Police later said
   they found the suspected shooter and another person dead at a house not
   far from the second bar.
