Authorities say a 43-year-old German who posted a rant calling for the ``complete extermination'' of various races and cultures shot and killed nine people, most of them Turkish, in an attack on a hookah bar and other sites in suburban Frankfurt.
Chancellor Angela Merkel said Thursday that the shootings exposed the ``poison'' of racism in Germany.
The bloodshed comes amid growing concerns about far-right violence in Germany and stepped-up efforts from authorities to crack down on it.
Justin Trudeau's tweet: Canada condemns last night’s terrible attack in Germany. We must stand united against racism and hate. Our deepest sympathies to the victims and their families - we’re keeping you in our thoughts today.
