German Viernheim cinema complex ‘attacked by gunman’
(BBC)- Heavily armed police have surrounded a cinema complex in western Germany amid reports that a gunman has barricaded himself inside.
German media reports suggest a man fired at least one shot at the Kinopolis complex in Viernheim, near Frankfurt.
At least 20 people are said have been injured, many reportedly as the result of a release of tear gas.
It is unclear if the man is alone or if he has taken hostages.
