Four people were killed and at least one person seriously injured when a woman armed with a gun opened fire in and around a hospital in the southern German town of Loerrach, authorities said on Sunday. “The situation is under control,” said a spokesman for local police. The woman was among the four dead, he added. Police said shots were first heard after an explosion in an apartment block in central Loerrach. Shortly afterwards, a woman armed with a gun ran out of the building, which caught fire. The woman entered the nearby St. Elisabethen-Krankenhaus hospital and fired off several rounds, police said. She was then shot dead in an exchange of fire with police.
