The attack happened inside a supermarket on Fuhlsbüttler Street, according to local media.
Armed officers have been called in as authorities have described the incident as a terror attack.
At 3.11 pm fire fighters and police received dozens of emergency calls.
At the time, a man was running across the street into Edeka supermarket.
Horror images have begun to emerge of people covered in blood with fabric wrapped around their faces.
There are several people injured.
One witness describes the attack, claims attacker shouted “Allah hu ackbar”
Thank you Wrath of Khan
There are a pile of new videos available in the comments under this post as well as in the Reader’s Links post for July 28. Please check there for newer and additional information.
The second and third videos are unavailable.
All it would have take to stop the attack was one person with a decent handgun. I know that this isn’t going to happen in Germany, at least not very soon.
