Description

After the deadly gunfire incident on Wednesday evening, the residents of Hanau expressed, on Thursday, their shock and called for the hatred phenomena to be countered.

Hanau residents reacted to the deadly shootings that took place in the city on Wednesday night, and claimed the lives of 11 people, on Thursday.

"I feel so bad," said Swetlana a Hanau resident and she warned that "there's a lot more hatred, and a lot more in the background," and found it a disaster that children and adolescents "are really being treated here in Germany like children coming from the third world."

Another resident of Hanau Suleyman Doga said that politicians should be "asked about Nazis." Doga found that the punishments by the court are not strong enough and claimed that this incident "normal" due to the fact that "in every corner there is the possibility of everyone to find whatever weapons they want."

The suspect of the incident opened fire outside one shisha bar in the city's Heumarkt district and drove off to a second location in the Kesselstadt district where he opened fire again, killing nine people and injuring several others late on Wednesday evening.

Together with his 72-year-old mother, he was found dead at his home in the early hours of Thursday morning.

According to the Federal Prosecutors Office, there are serious indications of a racist background to the crime, which is supported by videos and documents allegedly made by the suspect.
