Cops arrest five people in Cologne as ‘gun-toting woman storms government building’
The police operation in Sulz, in the west of the city, comes hours after German Chancellor Angela Merkel addressed the recent spate of terror attacks
German police have reportedly arrested five people near a government building in Cologne – after reports of a crazed gun-toting WOMAN inside.
According to Bild, employees have been ordered to stay inside their offices as security forces continue to investigate.
Police tweeted: "Police operation at job centre in Luxemburger Street due to threatening behaviour. Information over bomb threat is false."
The police operation in Sulz, in the west Cologne, comes hours after German Chancellor Angela Merkel addressed the recent spate of terror attacks which have rocked Germany.
Last week a failed Syrian asylum seeker blew himself up outside a music festival in the Bavarian town of Ansbach.
In a video posted by terror group ISIS, suicide bomber Mohammad Daleel, 27, pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the warped death cult.
On the same day, a 21-year-old Syrian refugee hacked a pregnant woman to death with a machete and injured several others in the town of Reutlingen.
On July 22, a German Iranian teen shot and killed nine people in German capital Munich before turning before killing himself.
And on July 18, an Afghan refugee teenager unleashed a frenzied knife attack on a train in Wurzburg, injuring several people, before he was gunned down by police.
