Germany shooting: Police criticised for slow response

Germany shooting: Police criticised for slow response

German Chancellor Angela Merkel is promising "zero tolerance" for hate after Wednesday's shooting in the eastern city of Halle.

A police union leader said police cover was spread too thinly, and the response time was too long.

Al Jazeera's Andrew Simmons reports from Halle.
