A policeman walks along the house in Georgensgmuend, Germany, Wednesday, Oct. 19, 2016, where an anti-government extremist opened fire on police in southern Germany during a raid in the morning in which they had planned to confiscate his weapons, and four officers were wounded, authorities said. The 49-year-old German man had legally possessed more than 30 weapons for hunting, but local authorities had revoked his license because he appeared increasingly unreliable, Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said.
