In Germany at least two people have been killed in a drive-by shooting in northern Bavaria.

A suspect is said to have opened fire from a Mercedes car close to Ansbach, near Nuremberg.

Police say a man has been arrested.

Reporting “several incidents”, they said that first an elderly woman was shot dead – before a cyclist was also shot and killed not far away.

Reports said a farmer and a motorist were also “threatened with firearms” but were unharmed.

The motive for the shootings is not known.
