Frankfurt, February 21 (RHC)-- In Germany, a gunman with a high-powered rifle opened fire on patrons at two shisha bars in the town of Hanau -- a suburb of Frankfurt -- killing 9 people.  The 43-year-old suspect then returned to his home and killed his mother before turning a gun on himself. 

The attacks appeared to target people of Turkish and Kurdish ancestry, and German federal investigators said they’re investigating the killings as a likely right-wing terror attack. 

The killings came a week after German police arrested 12 members of a far-right group and accused them of plotting to use semiautomatic weapons to murder worshipers at mosques, in attacks that would mirror those carried out by a white nationalist gunman in Christchurch, New Zealand, last year.
