This is the best summary I could come up with:
German authorities were negotiating with a man who used his car to break into the secure area of the Hamburg airport, prompting an hourslong standoff.
While details remain scarce, the suspect is believed to have his young daughter in the car with him and is keeping the child hostage.
Some time later, the man drove through a closed gate at the Hamburg airport, firing two shots in the air and throwing "some sort of Molotov cocktails," according to the police.
A police spokeswoman later told the DPA news agency that the negotiations are conducted in Turkish.
The incident prompted a large police deployment, with SWAT teams also on the scene.
"To ensure the safety of air traffic, apart from structural measures, alarm chains have been set up that worked faultlessly," the spokeswoman told the DPA news agency.
