Mercedes-Benz shooting: Two killed at factory in Germany

Two people have died in a shooting at a Mercedes-Benz factory in Sindelfingen, Germany. A 53-year-old man entered the production hall and opened fire, targeting two 44-year-old men who were both fatally shot. No one else was injured in the incident.

The suspect was detained by security staff and later arrested by the police without resistance. The shooting took place at the Sindelfingen plant where Mercedes-Benz produces its S-Class luxury model. The victims were employed by an external service provider, according to Mercedes-Benz.

The incident was carried out by a single perpetrator, and there is no threat to the public. Authorities are planning to further tighten Germany's already strict gun laws. Germany has over one million private gun owners, with the majority of firearms owned by hunters, according to the National Firearms Registry.

What measures do you think should be taken to prevent such incidents in the future?
