A man shot himself in the head after shooting his father, wife and three-year-old child. The other three died in the shooting, but the attacker survived. However, the doctors said that his condition is critical.
The incident took place in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The brutal incident took place in a house in local Montabaur area on Thursday (January 25). Neighbors heard the screams first.
After a while, the surroundings were shaken by the sound of several rounds of gunfire. Local law enforcement and fire brigade members reached the spot and rescued the assailant alive after calling the emergency number for help.
According to the police, three people, including a child, were killed by a 37-year-old gunman in the house. All the attackers and the victims are members of the same family. In the description of the incident, the police also said that the man first shot his father and then his wife and three-year-old child. After that, the gunman tried to commit suicide by putting his weapon on his own head.
However, in response to the question why did the person kill all the family members, the investigating officer and the attorney general said that the murder may have been due to a family dispute.
