Police operation underway at Munich mall

Starting to see blips on one of my apps about a large police presence at a Munich area shopping center. Multiple videos and pictures on social media showing people running from the area and what appears to be pops being heard. Also a picture of a person lying face down in the street, unknown if it's related to the incident or something else.

Finally getting picked up by the wire services. Will update.

Here we go again.
Sad news , hot on the heals of the train attacker and day after the attempted abduction of the British serviceman , coincidence or a ramping up of terror campaign ?

latest update states that whatever was going on is over

a reply to: FamCore

All I'm seeing is at least 15 shot with "multiple deaths." Still very fluid info and situation, for obvious reasons.

Or what should be obvious reason, anyway.

Not sure if live or not...

pre recorded

The only thing german news can report till now is that there is one dead person and 10 injured.
But even that isn´t for sure.

But, they've been so nice to the Muslims! How could this happen? Who could have ever predicted such an occurrence?

summer please go away.

this is madness.

Nobody mentioned muslims till now, but one attacker is reported, that started this shooting into a drugstore, then fled and shot while entering the metro. But nothing of that is for sure.

I don't see anything related on German media to muslims. At least yet.
