Kathrin Schuol

“The suspected gunman was a 45-year-old Turkish national born in Germany and living in Hanover, Lueneburg police chief Kathrin Schuol said.”

“He had an appointment at the centre on Monday 'with many of the victims' to discuss the custody of his daughter, Schuol added.”

“He was known to police 'in relation to threats' but had not been considered 'as a particularly violent individual', Schuol added.”

“He did not have a firearms licence, Schuol said.”

“The suspect initially fled the scene in a car driven by a woman, Schuol said.”
