German prosecutor shot dead in court

National newspaper Bild said the defendant was 54-years-old.

German courts often have relatively lax security measures, particularly when
cases not involving felonies are being heard.

In April 2009, a 60-year-old gunman killed a female family member and then
himself at a courthouse hearing over an inheritance dispute in the southern
city of Landshut.

And in July of the same year, a German
man stabbed and killed a pregnant headscarved Egyptian woman in the eastern
city of Dresden in a case which also provoked outrage in the Muslim world.

The killer, Alex Wiens, was later sentenced to life imprisonment.
