A woman opened fire in a German hospital on Sunday night, killing at least three and wounding several patients before turning her gun on herself.
[quote]Media reports said the female killer moved through wards in St Elisabeth Hospital in the south-western town of Lorrach in Baden-Wuerttemberg, shooting at staff and patients in their beds with a handgun at around 6pm local time.
According to the local Badische Zeitung newspaper, there was a "loud explosion" around 6.00pm local time in a building opposite the hospital. Online photographs showed smoke pouring from the building as firemen raced to the scene. But the fire brigade personnel were initially unable to tackle the blaze as they heard shots and took cover. Media reports said two bodies were later found in the burned-out apartment and police were on Sunday investigating whether the hospital shooter was responsible.
"We were playing with the children in the garden when there was a huge explosion that shook the house," said Ayed Centinier, who lives in the apartment block next door.
The woman, who was not identified, then moved through wards at the hospital, shooting at staff and patients with a handgun. At least one police officer was hurt in the incident with a shot to the knee. At least one other person was seriously wounded by the woman.
"We have dead and we have wounded," said a police spokesman. "The situation is now under control." Television news channels in Germany put the death toll at four, including the woman.
It was not immediately clear what her connection was to the hospital.
The Catholic hospital has a centre for children, a specialist gynaecological unit and an intensive care station for premature babies as well as a psychiatric unit for troubled youngsters.
Lorrach, close to the French and Swiss borders, is a city of 48,000 people. It is not far from the site of the Winnenden massacre in March last year, when German teen Tim Kretschmer killed 15 people with his father's handgun before taking his own life.[/quote]

Shooting up a hospital is a dick thing to do. I did it once in GTA4, but then I felt really sad afterwards.
If I were to be shot I would probably choose to be shot while in a hospital
it's that time of the month.

Why didn't she just take her own life. Instead, she killed (was it three?) people and after that she just killed herself. What a bitch.
Oh well this is fan-fucking-tastic.
