German Chancellor Angela Merkel confirmed Thursday morning that early indications suggest the deadly shootings in Germany, where a gunman killed 10 people in separate attacks outside hookah lounges on Wednesday night before fatally shooting himself, were a racist, far-right attack. Merkel condemned the attack, saying they exposed the “poison” of racism in German society. The incident comes as Germany is on high alert due to concerns about the rise of the far-right groups. |
