Gunman kills woman and takes hostages as Xmas market evacuated

Dresden's Striezelmarkt is considered to be the oldest Christmas market in Germany - and the oldest in the world.

It was opened as a one-day market in 1434 and now attracts three million visitors from across the world every year. The market was evacuated and shut during the hostage situation before it was allowed to reopen after police said there was "no longer a dangerous situation" in the city.

'It's not clear how he died'. Armed police storming the building to free the hostages he'd taken might be a clue.
