Germany Church Shooter Was "Expensive" Business Coach

Former Jehovah’s Witness and self-styled business coach Philipp Fusz, 35, has been confirmed as the gunman behind a shooting at a Hamburg church on Thursday, Mar. 9, 2023, that left six people dead and many more injured, Jorg Luyken reported for The Telegraph.

They say that he left the congregation 18 months previously after a fall out with other members.

The Telegraph reported that Fusz was a freelance consultant whose business website describes him as an expert in the finance and energy sectors.

On the website, he offers exorbitantly priced consultancy for a daily fee of €250,000, boasting that “the fee incorporates the fact that my work should generate you a leverage or value added of at least 2.5 million EUR.”

According to his own account, Fusz grew up in a strictly religious household in the Alps before studying business in Munich. Police confirmed that Mr. Fusz used a handgun in his attack that he had owned legally since December through his membership in a local gun club.

They also stated that the city gun authority received an anonymous tip-off in January warning that Fusz was mentally unstable and that he harbored hatred for the Jehovah’s Witnesses.

But authorities who checked up on him last month did not take any further action after they found that he kept his gun in a safe according to regulations and that he showed no other signs of being unstable.
