A gunman with suspected far-right links shot dead nine persons, some of them migrants from Turkey, in an overnight rampage through a German city before killing himself, officials said.

The presumed killer was a 43-year-old German man, who held a firearms licence and was a member of a gun club. The police chased a car used to leave the scene of one shooting to its owner’s address, where they found his body and that of his 72-year-old mother, said Peter Beuth, interior minister of Hesse state, where Hanau is located.
