Berlin, Germany (News Today) - Authorities in southwest Germany were looking for a motive Monday in a fire at an apartment building and a hospital shooting that, together, killed four people and are believed to be linked.
Two bodies -- one of a man and another of a 5-year-old child -- were found inside a burning building in the city of Loerrach, police said Sunday evening.
As authorities responded to the fire, they saw a woman -- armed with a weapon -- run from the building toward a hospital.
On the way, the woman shot two passers-by, severely wounding them, police said.
At the St. Elisabethen hospital, the woman allegedly opened fire, killing one person, before police fatally shot her, authorities said.
A police officer was also seriously injured in the attack at the hospital.
Police think the bodies in the apartment belonged to the woman's former partner and their child. Residents heard gunshots in the building shortly before it went up in flames, authorities said.
Firefighters evacuated 19 people from the building. Seventeen suffered mild injuries, officials said.
