A woman armed with an automatic weapon has shot dead one person at a hospital in Germany before being killed by police.
A police officer was also injured in the incident in the town of Loerrach near the French and Swiss borders.
Police believe the shooting is linked to an explosion at a nearby building where they found the bodies of a man and a child.
Authorities have sealed off the area and say the situation is under control.
The shooting happened shortly after 1800 local time (1600GMT) on Sunday.
Police say there was an explosion in an apartment block opposite the hospital, after which witnesses saw the woman run from the building and into St Elisabethen hospital holding a gun.
The woman killed a male nurse and critically wounded a police officer who happened to be in the hospital at the time.
