LANDSHUT, Germany - A man opened fire at a courthouse in Bavaria yesterday, killing a female relative and seriously injuring two other people, German officials said. He then shot himself dead.
The shooting happened during a break in a hearing on an inheritance dispute at the administrative court in Landshut, some 47 miles (75 kilometers) northeast of Munich, police said. The dispute apparently escalated outside the courtroom and the 60-year-old man, from nearby Dingolfing, pulled out a revolver. He shot a woman in the head, and she later died of her injuries. Two other people involved in the proceedings, a man and a woman, suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries.
The gunman then went into another room and shot himself before emergency services arrived at the scene.
Last month, 17-year-old Tim Kretschmer killed nine students and three teachers at his former high school in Winnenden before fatally shooting three others.
