Four people have been severely injured in shooting incidents in the western German town of Hagen, police said Saturday.
Police in the western German state of North-Rhine Westphalia said the four victims are expected to survive. The suspected perpetrator is still on the run, with a police helicopter being used in the search.
Authorities earlier confirmed to dpa that the two crime scenes included a hair salon and a nearby residential building in Hagen, south of Dortmund.
The police said officers were on site with a large contingent and urged the public to avoid the area around the crime scenes. The incident may have been linked to a family dispute, the police added.
