More details coming out. Apparently, the shooter was not in attendance. He broke in through a window after shooting at a car in the parking lot

9:09 p.m.

Thanks for that it somewhat validates what I heard early 'Lucky coincidence'!;— A Hamburg police unit specially trained to deal with rampages and terror attacks, known by its acronym USE, arrives at the scene. Police say it is a “lucky coincidence” that the unit is still on duty and is nearby.....

The article claims that 36 witnesses were physically present at the meeting and 20 were rescued unhurt. So, nearly half of the congregation is dead or injured. So sad. After reading the shooters webpage it does appear that his mental state is suspect and some of his writings make sense while others appear to not be complete thoughts.

That’s what I was wondering if this was a parent of someone killed by the vaccine, but it sounds like it was someone DF’d about 18 months ago. I had heard a RUMOR when the brothers and sisters got vaccinated that someone big at the German Bethel died from the vaccine, but I was never able to confirm or get details.
Speaking of, remember when Citrine reported she was told a 40 something year old was found dead in their room at Bethel and no one knew why. An event like that should have some public records and an autopsy. I'd be very curious. I know people die unexpectedly at all ages and that does not mean it was the vaccine. But if it was something like pericarditis.....these are the things I would like to know, especially when so many people, Watchtower and the world want to control what information is available. Like Pfizer redacting the # of doses in that initial study that they fought to keep sealed.

I just got pop up from BBC news about shooting. I don't know how to post videos, news articles etc., sorry but it stated the mother who lost her unborn child was 7 months pregnant. The mother survived.

I cannot even begin to imagine how the shooting and lost of her child will affect her and her family.

This whole unnecessary mess is so heartbreaking.

I know this shooting will affect those involved for a long time. 😔 I know it has touched all of us here.

Makes one pause and remember life can be altered/wiped out in a blink of our eyes.

His LinkedIn profile suggests he was a successful businessman.


His personal page

This unverified report I saw on another forum says
apparently that night of the midweek service meeting it was announced that Mr. Philipp Fusz (35) no longer one of JWs. During the prayer, Fusz left the KH, went to his car to retrieve a gun and started randomly shooting into the auditorium through an open window that was behind the podium. (The window is apparently opened after the meeting to allow for fresh air). He emptied one magazine and then after putting a new one in he climbed through the window and emptied that one too. It was 9:15 when the police smashed the glass in the entrance door and entered the KH. The shooter ran up the stairs to the second floor where he shot himself.

Although I would take this with a grain of salt since it appears that he might have been DFd 18 months ago.

Of course, just what you would expect.
They always leave an opening for speculation. No doubt brothers and sisters will look for the info on the net, and will see that he was a former witness. But that will play into their persecution complex because it doesn't state the reasons for why he was a former witness. It's also an interesting coincidence that on the front page of jw.org there is a series of articles on mental health.

A translated article that gives out a little more details about the shooter

From reading his website and articles I think this news report is pretty accurate. He was just mentally ill. He was reported by someone to the police but they didn’t find him to be a threat.

Yeah, I thought so too. It says they had no legal basis for further investigation.
He was just mentally ill.

That's why I mentioned the jw.org front page articles about mental health.

My long-time friend and webmaster, Timothy, sent me a link to an Amazon book published by the killer just a few months ago, in December 2022. It is entitled The Truth About God, Jesus Christ and Satan: A New Reflected View of Epochal Dimensions
In the intro he writes:

It seems this book is some kind of psycho's manifesto, wrapped up in infantile bible gibberish.
Anyone willing to take a look into the book. I know there are people who read literature from Raymond Franz & R.J. Furuli Ph.D, so I am curious what it mentioned.
