Mercedes-Benz plant shooting results in two deaths.

A 53-year-old suspect has been detained following the fatal shooting of two people at a Mercedes-Benz factory near Stuttgart in southwestern Germany on Thursday. The carmaker confirmed that two people had died following the incident at its plant in Sindelfingen, around 10 miles (17km) outside of Stuttgart. The prosecutor's office is working on the assumption that a single gunman was responsible for the shooting, and that no other individuals were involved. The suspect was identified as a 53-year-old man. The fatal shooting is the latest in a series of such incidents to take place in Germany in recent years, and comes amid a debate over whether Berlin should tighten its already strict gun laws.
