Frankfurt (Germany), Mar 2: A gunman fired shots at US military personnel on a bus outside Frankfurt airport today, killing two people and wounding two before being taken into custody, authorities said.
Kosovo's interior minister told The Associated Press that German police have identified the gunman as a Kosovo citizen.
The attack came as the bus sat outside Terminal 2 at the airport, Frankfurt police spokesman Manfred Fuellhardt said.
The two killed were the bus driver and a passenger, and one person suffered serious wounds and another one light injuries, Fuellhardt said.
The spokesman could not confirm whether any of the casualties were US military personnel. The US Army in Europe referred calls to the Air Force, but a spokeswoman said she could not immediately confirm that the casualties were airmen nor give any details of the incident.
The bus had a US government license plate marked "AF" for Air Force.
Still, German Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters in Berlin that two American soldiers had been killed, as she condemned the "terrible incident."
"We'll do everything possible to find out what happened," she pledged. AP
