Special forces have shot a man dead who stormed a cinema in central Germany, leaving dozens wounded, authorities have confirmed to local media.

The masked man entered a cinema in Viernheim in central Germany on Thursday afternoon. Media report that witnesses said at least four shots were fired.

The Hesse interior ministry confirmed to state media that the man has since been shot dead by police after he barricaded himself into the theatre and injured several cinema-goers with tear gas.

Authorities have also confirmed that the man took hostages during the assault.

Security officials are saying that they do not currently suspect that there was a terrorist motive. DPA have information from security sources that the man was psychologically disturbed.

Media also report that the incident began at 3pm.

The masked man entered a multiplex cinema in the small town just north of Mannheim. Focus is reporting he was armed only with a blank firing gun.

So far the motive of the man is unclear, as is anything to do with his identity.

Public broadcaster Hessischer Rundfunk and Bild daily said that at least 25 people were hurt through teargas.
 
According to the Darmstädter Echo, the gunman had taken hostages.
 
A German police spokesman only confirmed "an unclear threat situation".
AFP reported on Twitter that several people had been injured. Bild is also reporting that at least 25 people have been injured.
