Eight people have been killed in two shooting incidents in a German city near Frankfurt.

Heavily armed police sealed off two streets in the city of Hanau, where five people were wounded after a gunman opened fire at two shisha cafes.

In a Tweet, the regional police confirmed the suspect was found dead at his home after a seven-hour manhunt. 

There appeared to be no other perpetrators and the motive for the attack remains unclear.
