Six people were killed in a shooting on Monday at a youth welfare facility in the northern German town of Stade, police said.
Five people – four women and a man – died at the scene of the shooting. A sixth, also an adult, died later in hospital.
A main suspect was arrested, while another two people were subject to “police measures” on suspicion of involvement, police said in a statement without elaborating.
They said several people were wounded, some of them seriously, German news agency dpa reported, but they did not give a specific figure or information on the victims’ identity.
Police said the shooting took place in the facility on Dankersstrasse, a street south of the town centre.
The site includes temporary accommodation for pregnant women or young mothers with children.

There was no danger to the public, police said. Video footage after the shooting showed a large police presence, along with other emergency service personnel and several ambulances.
Police said they were working to establish the background to the shooting and what exactly happened.
Vitali Mertens, who lives across the street from the scene, said he heard gunshots and “the whole area was cordoned off right away”.
Germany’s gun laws are more restrictive than those in the United States, and mass shootings are rare but not unheard of.
Stade has about 50,000 inhabitants and is located about 40 km (25 miles) from Hamburg.
