A gas station clerk in Germany was murdered Saturday after refusing service to a man who wouldn’t wear a face mask to limit the spread of COVID-19. Authorities said that the shooter, a 49-year-old German man, told officers he acted "out of anger" after the 20-year-old clerk would not let him buy a beer. Among other measures to stop the spread of the virus, Germany requires people to wear masks in stores. Police said the suspect left the Idar-Oberstein gas station after the dispute then returned a half-hour later wearing a mask and fatally shot the clerk in the head. Prosecutors told Germany's dpa news agency that the man wasn't previously known to police and that he wasn't legally entitled to possess the firearm found at his house.
