I don't understand how this keeps happening when they lock the doors after the meeting starts and have brothers posted as door attendants. They said this happened at around 9 on Thursday evening so obviously a meeting was in progress.
On a side note, a brother just collapsed at the hall last night and was carried out by ambulance, I was attending on zoom but brother on stage had to stop the meeting for awhile....certainly scary times.

Details have not emerged yet, but it sounds like it was someone in attendance who toward the end of the meeting pulled out a gun and started shooting. Not much you can do about that. Maybe install metal detectors at the door and pat down everyone entering.

By the timing of it, it appears as if the shooter waited until closing prayer when everyone had their eyes closed and their heads bowed. What do you bet that the German branch has already ordered the traumatized surviving members of the congregation not to reveal details of the massacre?
