Members of the Kurdish community held a memorial service in Hanau, on Saturday, to pay tribute to the victims of Wednesday's deadly shooting.
Cem Ozdemir, a prominent member of the Green Party with Turkish roots joined the ceremony saying "It's very important not to do what these culprits want - which is to divide our society by ethnic origin, religion. We need to make clear that the people who live in Hanau are Hanauians, the people who live in Hesse belong to Hesse, and those who live in Germany are a part of Germany."
Footage shows mourners laying flowers and lighting candles as they gathered around the memorial in Heumarkt, the site of the first shooting.
A 43-year-old German citizen from Hanau reportedly opened fire outside a shisha bar at Heumarkt district, driving off to a second location in Kesselstadt district, where he opened fire again.
The double shooting left at least 10 people dead, with five injured, before the suspect and his 72-year-old mother were found dead at his address in the early hours of Thursday morning.
German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer described the Hanau shooting as a "racially motivated terror attack" during a press conference in Berlin earlier on Friday.
