HANAU , GERMANY : A gunman with suspected far-right links shot dead nine people, some of them migrants from Turkey, in an overnight rampage through a German city before killing himself, officials said. Chancellor Angela Merkel condemned the attack on two shisha bars in Hanau, near Frankfurt. The presumed killer was a 43-year-old German man who held a firearms licence and was a member of a gun club. Can-Luca Frisenna, whose father and brother run one of the two bars attacked, said he rushed there after learning about the shooting. French President Emmanuel Macron expressed his immense sadness over the attack and his support for Germany, according to a Twitter posting.
