Three people in a group from Hong Kong were seriously hurt and one slightly injured in the attack in Wurzburg. Another 14 were treated for shock.
Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said the attacker was killed as he tried to flee the scene.
The motive for the attack is not yet clear.
The South China Morning Post said it was believed the four injured were a 62-year-old man, his 58-year-old wife, their daughter, 27, and her boyfriend, 31. The 17-year-old son travelling with them was not hurt, it said.
Comment: Good on Police Chief Mike Chitwood for actually questioning the source of the note and who's responsible for the firebombing. Whoever did this hoped to rile up the police and cause them, and others, to non-thinkingly react - which doesn't appear to be happening here. Chitwood also shows enough insight to say that there are radical elements that are trying to keep groups separated though he doesn't say what groups. If only we had a few thousand more Chitwoods in charge of police departments in the U.S. - instead of what we have now...
