2023 Hamburg shooting
On 9 March 2023, a mass shooting occurred at a Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in the Alsterdorf quarter, Hamburg, Germany. The shooter, identified as Philipp Fusz, entered the building during a service and opened fire, killing six adults and an unborn child, and injuring eight others.
