AN UNBORN baby was among seven victims of a gunman's rampage at a German church.
But the mum, who was seven months pregnant, survived the carnage at a Jehovah's Witness hall in Hamburg on Thursday.
Yesterday, German media identified the gunman as Philipp Fusz, a former member of the congregation.
He is said to have left the church under a cloud 18 months ago.
Fusz allegedly fired 100 rounds indiscriminately into the building then took his life after police arrived.
Officers had visited Fusz at his home last month after a tip-off about his mental health issues.
But they decided against confiscating his legally held gun.
The city's interior minister, Andy Grote, said: "Hamburg has never seen a mass shooting like this. It's the worst crime in our recent history.
He added: "There could have been more victims if police had not intervened so quickly.
