A lone gunman wounded several people at a lecture hall in the southwestern German city of Heidelberg on Monday, police said.
Police said in a brief statement that the perpetrator was dead, but didn`t give details of how that happened. They had earlier asked people on Twitter to avoid the Neuenheimer Feld area of Heidelberg, where the city`s university campus is located. Police didn`t specify how many people were wounded, or how seriously. The university`s press office declined to give any details on the shooting and referred all inquiries to police.
