Six people were killed Monday in Germany after a Turkish gunman opened fire at a youth welfare facility in Stade, Lower Saxony, in what authorities believe was a custody-related massacre involving his three-month-old daughter.

The attack, according to reports, took place at a mother-and-child facility,, a place meant to protect vulnerable women and children from danger. Instead, it became the scene of one of Germany’s deadliest shootings in recent years.

BREAKING: The perpetrator who shot and killed 6 people was born in Germany but has Turkish roots.

Police say the motive was a custody battle over his baby.

Police said five victims died at the scene, while a sixth died later in hospital. The dead were four women and two men, all employees of the facility or connected youth welfare authorities.

The suspected gunman, a 45-year-old man from the Hanover area, was arrested shortly after the attack. German reporting has described him as German-born with Turkish citizenship or dual nationality.

Yesterday, a Turkish Muslim with Lebanese-Kurdish roots shot 6 dead at a Stade mother-child welfare facility, 4 women and 2 men, all staff.

Authorities believe the shooting grew out of a custody dispute involving the suspect’s infant daughter. A meeting related to the child’s care and custody had reportedly been scheduled for the same day.

The child and her 34-year-old mother were at the facility at the time of the attack. Police said neither was among the victims, and both were brought to safety.

The facility provides supervised accommodation for pregnant women and young mothers with children. According to reporting, the suspect’s daughter had previously been removed from the family and later returned to her mother under conditions requiring them to live at the Stade facility rather than at home in Hanover.

Because the father was reportedly considered problematic, the custody-related meeting was attended by a larger group of staff than usual. Those workers appear to have become the targets of the attack.

Lower Saxony Interior Minister Daniela Behrens described the shooting as an “extremely cold-blooded violent crime” that apparently stemmed from a custody dispute. Investigators have stressed that the exact sequence of events remains under review.

The suspect was known to police, including in connection with alleged threats. But officials said he had not been classified as a violent offender.

He also did not have a firearms license. Investigators are still trying to determine how he obtained the weapon and whether more than one firearm was used.

After the shooting, the suspect allegedly fled in a grey Mercedes. Police intercepted the vehicle and arrested him along with a woman described by investigators as having a close connection to his family.

Witnesses told German media that police opened fire on the fleeing car after it failed to stop. Officers later recovered a weapon from the vehicle.

Two additional people were taken into police measures or questioning as investigators worked to clarify whether anyone helped the suspect before, during or after the attack. A murder commission has taken over the case because of the scale and complexity of the crime.

Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the killings had shaken the country. “The news from Stade shakes us to the core,” he wrote, adding that people “who wanted to help and protect” had lost their lives or been injured.

Merz expressed sympathy for the victims and their relatives and thanked police officers for their rapid response. But official sympathy is not enough for a country that keeps repeating the same pattern of shock, mourning and denial.

Die Nachricht aus Stade erschüttert bis ins Mark. Viele Menschen, die helfen und schützen wollten, haben ihr Leben verloren oder wurden verletzt. Mein Mitgefühl gilt den Opfern und ihren Angehörigen. Ich danke den Polizisten und Polizistinnen für ihren schnellen Einsatz.

The Stade massacre has revived questions Berlin’s ruling class works hard to suppress: immigration, clan crime, imported social conflicts, failed integration and the state’s inability to protect even its own welfare institutions.

German outlets NDR and WDR have reported that the suspected gunman belonged to the Miri clan, a large extended-family network associated in Germany with organized crime. Police have said the shooting appears to have been an isolated family-related act rather than a clan-directed operation.

That distinction may matter legally, but it does not settle the political question. Germany has allowed foreign-rooted clan structures to entrench themselves in its cities while citizens were told that raising the issue was xenophobic.

The Miri network has long been associated by authorities and media with organized crime, including drug trafficking, weapons offenses, extortion, money laundering and violent crime. One of its best-known figures, Ibrahim Miri, accumulated numerous convictions before being deported to Lebanon in 2019, illegally returning, and being deported again.

Stade itself has previously seen violence connected to clan disputes. A 2024 conflict linked to competing shisha businesses reportedly escalated into attacks, drive-by shootings and a fatal stabbing involving members of the Miri and Al-Zein networks.

Stade represents yet another grim warning about a state that polices speech more aggressively than it dismantles foreign clan power. Germany’s rulers monitor dissidents, stigmatize border-control voters and lecture citizens about diversity, yet repeatedly fail to confront the criminal structures that have been allowed to flourish under their watch.

The remigration argument is becoming unavoidable. Foreign criminals must be deported, dual nationals who commit grave crimes should face citizenship consequences where legally possible, and clan networks must be dismantled before they become permanent power structures inside Germany.

If a person with foreign citizenship or deportable status commits serious violence, the response cannot be another candlelight vigil or another speech about tolerance. It must be prosecution, removal, border enforcement and a serious reversal of the immigration policies that brought these problems into German life.

Stade is now grieving six people who went to work in a facility meant to protect women and children and never came home. Their deaths should force Germany to confront what its elites have spent years denying, namely that mass immigration without assimilation, weak law enforcement and political cowardice have a human cost.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor disclosed receiving $4,333 worth of concert tickets from Rimas Entertainment, the Puerto Rican record label that represents superstar Bad Bunny, as part of the latest round of Supreme Court financial disclosure reports.

The tickets were for Sotomayor and an unspecified number of guests during a private trip she took to Puerto Rico in August.

Sotomayor, the first justice of Puerto Rican descent, noted in her filing that the gift came from the label while she was traveling privately, though she did not specify which concert she attended.

At the time, Bad Bunny was in the middle of a major residency that included more than 30 sold-out shows in San Juan.

These 2025 financial disclosures, which cover outside income, gifts, and other interests for eight of the nine justices, are required annually under federal ethics rules.

Justice Samuel Alito was granted a 90-day extension and has not yet filed.

While Sotomayor’s concert tickets stand out as the most eye-catching gift in the current reports, the filings also show substantial outside earnings for several other justices, primarily from book deals and teaching positions.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson reported a $1.18 million book advance from Penguin Random House for her memoir, following nearly $2.07 million in advances from the same publisher the previous year.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett disclosed more than $849,000 in royalties from her 2025 book.

Justice Neil Gorsuch reported over $300,000 in book royalties, and smaller teaching stipends appeared for Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and Justice Clarence Thomas.

Sotomayor also listed nearly $88,100 in royalties from Penguin Random House tied to her children’s books, along with additional promotional spending by the publisher on one of her titles.

A particularly dim-witted Anti-American French socialist politician is getting destroyed for giving one of the dumbest takes imaginable for the record heatwave in her country.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, European globalists are whining and refuse to modernize in the name of their favorite fiction: ‘man-made global warming’.

This last week, European Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen caught ‘a lot of heat’. Why? She decided that the European Commission HQ in Brussels would shut off air conditioning from floors 0 to 7 during Brussels’ summer heatwave.

This all comes while Europeans who have traveled to America for the World Cup are in absolute AWE that air-conditioning exists while their continent remains stuck in the Middle Ages in this regard.

Such a factoid has earned the snobby European politicians much-deserved mockery, and they are triggered.

Paris Deputy Mayor Audrey Pulvar, a member of the French Socialist Party, decided to dial the anti-American and anti-AC propaganda to an 11 in an Instagram post on Saturday.

In it, she blamed the UNITED STATES for the record heat in her country, which has so far claimed 48 lives.

“Dear American journalists and social media ‘influencers’: for days, some of you have been criticizing and making fun of Paris because the city does not have A/C in every room. OMG, this is so rich!” she wrote.

As the second-largest emitter of greenhouse gas emissions in the world, you bear a significant amount of responsibility for global warming and the consequences we, in France, are experiencing. Your cities ‘90% air-conditioned’ are not unrelated to this, she added. “In Paris, we take responsibility.”

The replies to Pulvar’s post were absolutely savage as Americans responded with a series of facts. First, France would be speaking German had America not intervened and saved their cowardly you-know-whats during World War II.

Second, Pulvar conveniently ignored the fact that China and India emit far more pollution per capita than the United States. Finally, she also ‘forgot’ that France still relies on America for so much, including defense, while they waste money on unworkable social programs.

US Attorney Jeanine Pirro discussed the vandalism of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on Monday morning, revealing that at least 14 people have been cited for the damage and that her office is weighing charges that could carry up to ten years in prison. 

Large portions of the bottom have been ripped out, and several people have been arrested for the destruction since last week. The National Park Service is now asking for help in identifying at least one vandal who was seen in surveillance video allegedly “destroying and removing a piece of the lining and attempting destruction of the lining.”

The Interior Department released footage of the vandals last Tuesday.

WATCH:

The National Park Service has confirmed that the blue sealant at the bottom of the pool was vandalized and “cut with a sharp knife or razor” in recent court filings. It further confirmed plans to drain the pool and begin repairs after the Fourth of July.

US Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced on Fox News this morning that US Park Police have now cited 14 individuals for destruction of government property.

“They’re coming into my office now. Make no mistake, if you vandalize anything in this district, we’re going to prosecute you, and if you destroy the reflecting pool, and if you create a problem that has long-term ramifications, we’re going to prosecute you,” Pirro said. “There’s no question about it!”

She added, “What we’ve got to do is make sure that we’ve got people who are able to find out about what’s going on, and the president is making sure we do that because now the enforcement is at a next level in terms of all of the monuments.”

Pirro said the consequences could range from ten years in prison to a misdemeanor, depending on the “level of damage.”

“We’re assessing those citations now as they come in,” she said. “We’re going to get these people; they’re going to be made accountable; we’re prosecuting them.”

WATCH:

Last week, The Gateway Pundit spoke exclusively to a spokeswoman with Greenwater Services, the company contracted to clean and filter the algae from the Reflecting Pool.

The company, Greenwater Services spokeswoman Erin Kramer said, is using “cutting-edge” ozone treatment technology, backed by research from Ohio State University and environmental journals, to pump ozone (O₃) “nano bubbles” throughout the water. “You’re actually adding oxygen to the water, which is great, so that’s why you can see the bottom of the pool really well, and what you see on the bottom is the sediment,” she said. “If we were doing this in a river or a lake, it would get reabsorbed into the environment. Here, it can get vacuumed up, but that’s what you see happening here today.”

Meanwhile, the left is losing its mind and actually protesting the removal of algae in the Reflecting Pool.

President Trump on Tuesday afternoon reacted to the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold birthright citizenship for babies born to illegal aliens.

The US Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship in a 5-4 decision.

Chief Justice Roberts wrote the majority opinion.

“Children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause,” Roberts wrote.

Roberts was joined by Amy Coney Barrett, Kagan, Sotomayor and Jackson.

Trump called on Congress to immediately get to work on ending “expensive and unfair” birthright citizenship.

Trump’s full statement:

The Supreme Court upheld Birthright Citizenship, which is too bad for our Country, but we can easily make it up in Congress through Legislation, with the support of the President, that has now been determined during this process. No long and unwieldy Constitutional Amendment is necessary! Congress should start TODAY to work on ending expensive and unfair to our Country, Birthright Citizenship. They will have my Complete and Total Support! President DONALD J. TRUMP

In a follow up post on Truth Social, President Trump celebrated the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Humphrey’s Executor on Monday.

Trump also called on Congress again to correct birthright citizenship.

The biggest and most consequential Decision issued by the Court, by far, is the Slaughter Case, which overturned the very famous Humphrey’s Executor Rule. This whole concept of “Power” has been fought over for nearly 100 years, going all the way back to Franklin Delanor Roosevelt, where a large slice of his Power was taken away. He fought to regain it, even wanting to “pack the Court,” but was unsuccessful in doing so. This Decision gives tremendous additional Power back to the Presidency, where it belongs. It is an Honor to be the sitting President who, after all these years, WON this very important, and hard fought, Case. We had other good Victories, too, and we also had the Birthright Citizenship loss, which we will work to correct in Congress, but the big SLAUGHTER, was SLAUGHTER. The Republican Party was treated very fairly by the United States Supreme Court. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
