The Hessian police are searching with a large contingent for a gunman who is said to have killed two men in Bad Nauheim. It is unclear why the victims were shot.
The two men were found lifeless in front of an apartment building in the spa town in the Wetterau district. Neighbors had alerted the police on Saturday afternoon. The "Bild" newspaper first reported the story.
The police have not yet revealed more than the gender of the deceased. It is also unclear whether the perpetrator and victim may have known each other.
Many questions unanswered
A police spokesperson said: "So far, we have indications of a perpetrator, but we cannot rule out the possibility that other people are also involved in the crime."
The police were deployed in large numbers and cordoned off the suspected crime scene in front of a three-storey building. It is a housing estate with several apartment buildings near a swimming pool. Bad Nauheim is located in Hesse between Frankfurt am Main and Giessen.
