A 24 year-old man attacked and killed a woman and injured at least three others with a samurai sword in Pforzheim near Stuttgart on Tuesday. One of the injured is being treated for life-threatening wounds. After running amok in the offices of mail-order company Modeversand Bruno Bader GmbH, the man apparently severely injured himself as well, a police spokesman told the German news agency DPA. The motive for the attack remains unclear.
