Wiesbaden (dpa/lhe) - The investigative committee of the Hessian state parliament on the racist attack in Hanau wants to deal with the question of why the perpetrator had a weapon this Monday (from 9 a.m.). Among other things, several employees of the weapons authority of the Main-Kinzig district are questioned as witnesses. A 43-year-old German shot nine people with racist motives in Hanau on February 19, 2020. Then he killed his mother and himself. The committee should clarify whether there was a failure of the authorities before, during and after the crime.
