Staggering that places of worship should need security.

Some of the photos and video of the gunman are fking mental.

There's a lot of smoke discharge. I wonder if it's some sort of Tactical shotgun. The cases certainly look like shotgun cartridges.

Definitely a shotgun of some description. Hard to identify as he's obscuring it. Very strangely far forward grip he has in it though. Rather weird.

A German security official told CNN that "investigators believe the shootings in Halle were motivated by far-right ideology" based on what they have learned so far.”

It's in two parts, I think it's just a rudimentary shotgun.

Pretty shocking.

"Speaking in English, the man called himself "anon" and said he was a Holocaust denier.

“Feminism is the cause of declining birth rates in the West, which acts as a scapegoat for mass immigration, and the root of all these problems is the Jew,” he continued, while filming himself in a car before starting the attack."

I guess it's inevitable given the type of people likely to be taken in by extremism, but thankfully most of them are the less able members of society. It could have been a lot worse.

Oh it never ceases to amaze me how a heavily armed man can be defeated by a couple of guys holding a door shut or a gate or often by an old man smacking him in the face.

2 dead is awful but as you say, could have been a lot worse.

There's an argument about the media portraying white attackers as mentally ill, while non whites are 'terrorists' but he's pretty delusional from that statement. Although you could similarly debate the sanity of those buying in to similar more subtle conspiracy theories, or killing over a book.

Looks like a single barrel break action shotgun.

Smoke could just be old shells, or home loads etc. Shotguns are not really long range tools so maybe he was home loading or had some old slugs who knows. Either way shows he was very much an odd ball rather than a professional who had access to modern firearms.

These sorts of people tend not to use off the shelf firearms as its hard too obtain. IIRC the Charlie Hebdo people used modified MARS rifles - which is one of the reasons they have been banned in the UK.
