German shooter planned 'massacre' in 'terror' attack in Halle - prosecutor
The shooter who killed two people and injured others at a synagogue in Halle had planned a “massacre” and wanted to inspire others to do the same, a German prosecutor said.
"What we experienced yesterday was terrorism. According to our findings, the suspect Stephan B. aimed to carry out a massacre," federal prosecutor Peter Frank said.
Frank said the suspect appears to have built several of his own weapons and that explosives were also found in his car.
