In a shocking incident in Germany, a Bulgarian woman lost her life as she was shot by her ex-partner inside a busy supermarket. The tragic event unfolded in Rhine-Main on Monday evening.

Preliminary information suggests that a man forcibly entered the supermarket, targeted the cashier, identified as a 38-year-old Bulgarian woman, and subsequently took his own life, as reported by bTV.

The victim and the alleged perpetrator, a 48-year-old man, were reportedly in a prior relationship. The brother of the murdered woman shared with Bild, "He beat her up. Didn’t leave her alone. She told me - at some point I will go to work and not come home. He will come and kill me."

The horrifying incident occurred in the presence of customers and employees at the supermarket. Fortunately, none of them suffered injuries during the attack.
