German police are investigating who fired several shots into a migrant shelter in a small town south of Frankfurt. A 23-year-old man was hit by a bullet in his sleep and suffered a minor injury. Some 30 people were in the shelter at the time. Police say they have little to go on, but suspect the crime may have been racially motivated.
