Video of the mass police response was posted to social media on Wednesday evening local time, along with speculation that up to seven people may have been killed at the two locations. Those reports are unconfirmed as of yet.

German media reported that the first incident happened at Kurt-Schumacher-Platz, in central Hanau, and involved eight or nine gunshots fired from a moving car. The shooting in Kesselstadt happened shortly afterward and is being treated as related.

Hanau and Kesselstadt are located on the Mein river, just east of Frankfurt.
