Bloodbath in Stade: Custody dispute ends with six dead – perpetrator arrested – accomplice in custody Six people were killed in a violent attack in Stade, Lower Saxony. The victims were employees of a family and youth welfare facility. A mother and her three-month-old daughter were unharmed.

He was known to police for making threats but was not considered to be highly violent. An arrest was made after the attack. The man was apprehended along with an accomplice. She is also in custody. A family member is believed to have initially driven the getaway vehicle. The suspect had a custody hearing at a mother-and-child facility. Shortly after reports of gunfire, police brought the mother and child to safety. According to investigators, there is no indication of a political or economic motive. They believe it was a family-motivated crime. The suspect is to be brought before a judge for a detention hearing.
