A shooting at a Mercedes-Benz plant in the city of Sindelfingen in southwestern Germany left two men dead on Thursday, mounting pressure on Berlin to tighten the country's already-strict gun laws.
Police arrested the suspect, a 53-year-old man, who opened fire on the victims before security workers at the site, some 17 km (10.6 miles) southwest of Stuttgart, held him down and handed him over to authorities, police and the local prosecutor's office said in a statement.
