At least one person has been killed and three seriously injured after a gunman opened fire at a nightclub in the German city of Konstanz. Police have ruled out terrorism as a motive for the attack, saying it was preceded by a personal dispute.

The 34-year-old gunman was fatally wounded in an exchange of fire with police and died in the hospital.

The gunman was an Iraqi citizen, according to a police spokesman cited by local broadcaster N-TV, but was not an asylum-seeker. The gunman had lived in the city for 15 years and was known to police.

The gunman “was critically injured in a shootout with police officers as he left the disco, and later succumbed to his wounds in hospital,” police said in a statement.
