Regional police spokesperson Ulrich Braun said: “This may be a crime of passions.”
Yes, those usually involve opening fire indiscriminately in crowded places, and taking hostages.
“‘Turkish’ gunman opens fire in packed hair salon leaving several seriously injured,” by Patrick Christys, Express, October 18, 2016 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
A GUNMAN opened fire in a crowded hair salon leaving one person with life threatening injuries before barricading himself into a nearby apartment, taking a woman hostage.
Heavily armed police arrived at the scene and discovered one man was already dead and a woman was critically injured – she has been airlifted to hospital.
The shooter, understood to be a 27-year-old Turkish man, is believed to have fired indiscriminately into the bustling hairdressers’ shop in Dueren, Germany.
Witnesses report the gunman entered the salon, shouted at a woman and then opened fire, leading regional police spokesperson Ulrich Braun to say: “This may be a crime of passions.”
German police say the attacker fled the scene and holed himself up in a nearby apartment, taking at least one person hostage.
Emergency services swarmed on the scene and stormed the building where they found one man, believed to be the shooter, dead.
Another woman was severely injured and is currently in intensive care at a nearby hospital.
A Dueren police spokeswoman said: “Shots were reported. A male suspect is in a building complex in the city center and he may have taken a hostage.
“We have no contact with him and are not aware of whether he has any demands.”
Much of Dueren city centre has been cordoned off by police….

Perhaps there were women in the Salon without Hijabs?
Perhaps the fumes from the hair products drive the Muslim temporarily insane?
Anyway I don’t think this really happened as “assault rifles” and ammunition etc are illegal in Germany.
Bob says
It’s very difficult to practice tonsorial artistry if the lady is sporting a hijab, I imagine!

What does this make 20-30 Roper w/a gun in Germany alone this year?
Wellington says
Standard fare in Germany nowadays. Standard fare in one Western country after another.
Think Western elites will draw the correct conclusion that if you have Muslim immigration you will have Muslim terrorism? Not on your life.
Yes, “your life,” since the Western elites, like Merkel, May, Obama, Pope Francis, Kerry and the Clintons, have plenty of power and money to protect themselves (lots of walls too like the Clintons have in Chappaqua around their home or Pope Francis has in Vatican City), but to hell with the little guy or gal. In fact, to the extent such little guy or gal dare criticizes the oldest totalitarian ideology of all time, Islam, then precisely to that extent is such a person a bigot. Pope Francis said as much just the other day when he asserted that those Christians who are against further Muslim immigration to the West are hypocrites.
Islam is absurd, never mind its being evil. The current crop of Western elites in the political realm, academia, the media, and many in the religious realm too sad to say, are also absurd. Increasingly I find myself placing them in the evil category as well, since willful ignorance of evil is actually nothing more than a subset of evil.

Hi Wellington,
I like you posts, or rather the emotions and thinking shown therein, more and more. Though, I always respected your posts. But there seems to be a bit of change.
Some small criticism, if I may. I don’t think we should refer to those who currently hold power as ‘elites’. Pegida & Identaire call them “Volks Verräter”, meaning traitors to the people, or rather the culture of a people is implied. After all, treason can have many forms. I think that’s very appropriate. How to put that into a short English version? Public Enemies?
tom parry says
As usual the german press rarely states the country orgin of criminals, to do so would be uspsetting and xneophobic. Deutche volk wach auf!!!!!!!!!!!!
DFD says
So, Deutschland Erwache… Looks mor and more tyhat way, and for Europe as such.
Hindu American says
Have the Germans found a motive yet?
Allan says
It could be Muslim privilege.
Jay Boo says
They motive is not in the tip of the “iceberg’ but in the filthy base.
Every mosque is a terrorist training center and ‘safe house’
(Moderate Muslim) is just a worn out oxymoron.
andra says
It´s not serious, it´s just problems in the relationship.
And the other two isolated incidents that took place in Nordrhein-Westfalen yesterday were some moonstruck loony.
Some time ago an Iranian killed a 20 year old woman by pushing her in front of a train. Yesterday they said that he as well was just a poor lunatic who felt haunted.
Yesterday was a black Tuesday for Germany.
Bill says
Clearly, the government underestimated the role of religion in hair salons. Maybe if the patrons had only learned to speak Arabic the carnage would have been avoided. As soon as Hillary disarms American citizens, we will be as powerless as German citizens to defend ourselves.
Merkel must have one sick and depraved soul to be forcing this on her own people.
Allan says
How would Hillary disarm American citizens without the help of Republican “heroes” like cops, the National Guard, and so on?
Bill says
I am not sure what “heroes” have to do with it, but maybe you can explain.
The National Guard is a US Government military reserve. It is funded by both the States and mostly the Federal Government. The Federal Government can call it out when needed. States can use it in times of emergency at the direction of a State’s Governor. They are soldiers and follow orders. Period. If Hillary says “I am Federalizing the National Guard and ordering them to take the guns”, they will march in and take them. If anyone thinks they are the “militia” as contemplated in the Constitution, they have swallowed the anti-2A myth. The National Guard is not the citizens’ militia.
Local police have closer connections and ties to the community, they might be reluctant to just follow orders of a Mayor or Governor to confiscate firearms, especially under dubious legal authority. It would vary. Most police and their unions in big cities are beholden to the Democrats. They know where their bread is buttered. If NYC Mayor DeBlasio were to order the police to confiscate firearms from law abiding citizens, the police there would do so. For some reason, Deblasio has shown no interest in confiscating them from criminals. I suspect that would be a more difficult assignment and he knows it.
I am not so sure that local police everywhere would toe gun confiscation line. That is the chief reason why Obama, Hillary and the Democrats are intent on Federalizing local police across the nation. They were using the fraudulent BLM movement as a cudgel. Obama ran out of time. The fact that his BLM minions started assassinating police officers, including black police officers, made it difficult for him to ram that one through. He ran out of time. Loretta Lynch did get a few big city Democrat mayors to sign on to the concept. Hillary will continue the effort. If they are successful at that, the Federal Police on a local level will be no different than the military.
james collins says
the way i understand the LE situation in the various states is that the highest LE authority within the counties of the states is the sheriff, because he is elected by the people. from what i understand he has the power to arrest even a FBI agent or any other person of power. as sheriff he could deputize all gun owners residing within his county giving at least those people some authority to resist an affront to the constitutions 2A. that’s why the 2A is there … to provide the PEOPLE some means to protect & defend the constitution as well as their lives and their loved ones lives and property.
Bill says
Yes, there is a body of sheriffs that have vowed to resist any unconstitutional order. They are relatively small in number. A sheriff from a Democrat controlled county would not resist, and would help enforce a gun confiscation. Other sheriff’s might not execute an order, but they and their deputies are so few in number, a military presences as in the National Guard or the US Military would roll over them within an hour.
If you simply study what New Orleans Democrat Mayor Ray Nagin (now a convicted felon) and his police and some Parish sheriffs did during Hurricane Katrina, you will see what I mean. Nagin (now a convicted felon) ordered gun confiscation from law-abiding citizens in New Orleans. The police executed the order and left citizens defenseless against criminal predators, some citizens were eventually victims of the criminals. Meanwhile, the New Orleans Police Department ran away from the armed criminals.Yes, the cowards ran away. They waited for the National Guard to tackle the armed criminals. But they sure were tough against the law abiding citizens. There is classic footage showing a beefy New Orleans cop body-slamming an 80 year old woman in order to seize her firearm. Her house was later robbed by armed criminals. She was defenseless. Numerous Federal Court orders directing that the City return the firearms to the citizens have been ignored, even to this day.
My point is that when Hillary and the Democrats mobilize to seize firearms, they will succeed. Hillary plans on doing it. So far, Jihad in America has mostly been limited to Gun Free Zones. When the entire Nation is disarmed, Hillary, the Democrats and their Jihadi allies will have open season on all Americans. Just like they do now in Europe.

Germany: Muslim opens fire in crowded hair salon, then takes hostage
……………………..
Expect much more of this Jihad in the West.
Michael Johnson says
This is just showing you that Islam don’t end with the destruction of Isis
Voytek Gagalka says
Nothing contrary to hair (and beard) fashions of Mohammed is allowed by those guys. Thus this sudden surge of “crimes of passions” whenever they see hair salons and what is happening inside.
Praeceptor Maximus says
You all better have a contingency plan in case Trump doesn’t win this election. The Left is going to rig the election. It is unbelievable what is happening in America. The Left is crucifying Trump for challenging the establishment. Jesus was crucified for challenging the establishment too. If Jesus was here now doing what he was doing 2000 years ago, the media would have paid some women to come forward and say that Jesus molested them when he was a teenager. How utterly ridiculous! If Hillary is allowed to become the president of the U.S, she will go first after the free speech, then the guns. She hates free speech first and foremost. No more JW, no more Breitbart which she has vowed to destroy, no more Anonymous (they support Trump), no more Alex Jones whom she loathes, and Assanage will be assassinated for sure. Even poor Milo will be kicked out of America. So, you all have to do something.
Buford says
The Idiots who want Hillary for President should pay attention to what is going on in Europe the
events going on there will be a daily event in the US bringing in a million more of these demonic creatures will destroy the US you can’t convert heathens like Muslims into Humans the Quran is nothing but a bunch of Demonic Garbage & add Individuals with a Low Mentality & too Stupid to realize It is all BS
Beagle says
A “crime of passion” in which the perpetrator fired “indiscriminately”?
I’m offended that the authorities are not even trying to lie to us convincingly, or even internally consistently any more.
Dennis says
How is it that the white people have become so stupid? What taught them this ignorance? Their religions, their educational systems, televisions and football? How can they look at the evil actions of Muslims and ignore them? Unbelievable!
Ernie says
Dennis , skin color has nothing to do with this . I feel insulted by your “contribution” . And no , I’m not “white” . I’m HUMAN .

Yes–this is not about race.
Beagle says
Chechens, Dagestanis and white converts are some of the most devout and dangerous jihadists. Don’t assume the white guy with the big beard is just a hipster. Islam is a belief system, which is distinct from immutable characteristics like skin color. Apples =/= oranges.
gravenimage says
Yes–including the Boston Marathon Bombers. Again, this is not about race.
Robert John Bennett says
This incident was reported in the German media,of course, but without any mention of the fact that the shooter was of Turkish background. It was also described as “crime of passion,” in keeping with the conviction in the German media and among German politicians that such crimes “have nothing to do with Islam.”
LB says
Meh. Another day, another muslim on a killing spree. What else is new? This is life in the West now, no need to make a big deal out of it. Move along folks…

Yes, that’s it. This poor, frustrated and disenfranchised Muslim had a ” sexual emergency” and those infidel whores, exposing themselves in public, refused to accommodate his needs.
Angemon says
Crimes of passion usually happen in a more, *ahem*, “private” setting, in a spur-of-the-moment type thing. The person who thinks their spouse is cheating on them. The person who reacts badly to a request for divorce. Even when planned, usually the criminal goes after the specified victim alone. But I guess this could be, indeed, a crime of passion: a filthy infidel whore refused the advances of a devout muslim male, therefore she had to die, just like the rest of the infidel trash.
