Woman kills estranged husband, son
A WOMAN who went on a shooting spree at a hospital in southwest Germany had allegedly killed her estranged husband and five-year-old son at a nearby apartment shortly before, authorities said yesterday.
Officials said the 41-year-old lawyer had suffered a miscarriage at the hospital in the town of Loerrach in 2004, but were not sure if that was the motive for the Sunday rampage.
Authorities said she allegedly killed her husband and son in her apartment and then ran across the street to the hospital.
There she killed a male nurse before being shot dead during a gunfight with police.
The son lived with his father, but had been visiting for the weekend.
After the killings at the apartment, the woman set off a fire in the building before leaving, officials said.
The earlier miscarriage "could be the reason ... why she chose to go to the hospital," prosecutor Dieter Inhofer said at a news conference.
