2017 Konstanz Shooting
Shooting
The shooting occurred at 4:30am at the recently opened Gray Nightclub, on Max-Stromeyer-Strasse in Konstanz's industrial zone. Following a dispute with a family member the gunman left the club to get his illegal automatic M16 rifle. He returned after hijacking a taxi and holding the driver at gunpoint, however the driver was able to alert the police.
Upon arriving at the club the gunman shot two doormen who had refused him entry, killing one. The second doorman was shot six times but survived. The gunman briefly entered the club sparking an evacuation but then returned outside. The police arrived and returned fire, a policeman was severely injured in the exchange and two patrons were shot in the crossfire, although one did not immediately notice.
Perpetrator
The gunman, Rozaba Sendi, 34, was an Iraqi-Kurdish citizen who had lived in Germany since childhood. He had a history of drug offences and assault. He was the son-in-law of the club's owner.
