On a Thursday evening in Hamburg, a man who had once worshipped among them returned to a Jehovah's Witness congregation and opened fire, killing eight people before turning the weapon on himself. He had been warned about, contacted by police, and released — the law finding no foothold to intervene. Among the dead was an unborn child, and among the unanswered questions is the one that may matter most: whether the systems meant to protect the living are adequate to the warnings they receive.
