What we do know
  • At least six people have been killed and an unknown number injured in a shooting in Munich. Police have referred to the incident as a terror attack.
  • At 5.52pm, gunshots were fired at a McDonald’s near the Olympia shopping centre (OEZ) in the northern Moosach area of the Bavarian capital.
  • A video appears to show one of the gunman on the rooftop carpark of the shopping centre.
  • A major police operation is underway. Police have said that up to three suspects armed with rifles are being hunted. No one has been arrested so far and officials have no indication of the attackers’ whereabouts.
  • Police have said all shoppers have now left the shopping centre.
  • The German government has set up a crisis response unit.
  • Residents have been warned via Munich’s smartphone warning system to avoid public places, stay in their homes where possible and turn on the TV and radio.
  • Munich central station and underground system is closed and has been evacuated. Motorists on the motorway into Munich have been asked to clear the road for police and emergency service vehicles.
  • Hospitals throughout Munich are on emergency alert and in “catastrophe mode”.
  • Police have said they could not confirm earlier reports of one or two other shootings elsewhere in the city, including in a large square known locally as Stachus.


What we don’t know:
  • No claim of responsibility has been made and there is no indication so far of the attackers’ motives.
  • It is not yet clear how many attackers opened fire or whether the shootings, described as a “rampage” by police, amounted to a coordinated or planned attack.

Looks like Germans are using the old “R2FU technique”

According to local media, the ninth dead person is believed by police to be one of the killers. His body was found 45 minutes ago on a green stretch near the Olympia shopping centre; 1km away from the scene of the crime.

The veteran police reporter Oliver Bendixen told Tagesthemen that the body found was believed to be that of the perpetrator who opened fire in front of the Mcdonald’s. But police want to approach his body with great caution, believing there might be explosives in a bag. They are going to send a robot to investigate his body, Bendixen said.

The police have not confirmed these reports.

The press conference is starting now.

The attacker was an 18-year-old German of Iranian descent. His body was found at 8:30pm local time, having shot himself.

There were 10 dead, including the attacker, police say, and 21 wounded. There is no motive as yet.

This is the longest article I've ever read through .. tons of photos. Rumpole, there's a transcript a bit down the page between the shooter and man on a balcony. Do you know what the w****r word is that is so derogatory in Germany? I could figure out the others. ;) So horrific that the targeted the innocent children. :(

Did Munich killer lure children to their deaths on Facebook? Police probe fake ad for free food at massacre McDonald's where Iranian, 18, killed first of his nine victims before turning gun on himself
By Anthony Joseph, Patrick Lion, Alan Hall | Daily Mail | Updated: 02:27 EST, 23 July 2016


An 18-year-old German-Iranian man who complained he had been bullied killed nine people then himself during a gun rampage through Munich yesterday, with police probing claims he lured some of his young victims to their deaths with a promise of free McDonald's food.

A fake Facebook page reportedly told youngsters to gather in a specific fast food restaurant yesterday afternoon for the special offer. At around 5:50pm, the black-clad shooter burst from the restaurant's toilets and began 'killing the children' with a pistol, witnesses said. He then continued his bloody spree in a local shopping centre and on the streets around Munich's Olympic quarter.

A number of 'adolescents' were among the dead and several 'children' were injured, Munich Police President Hubertus Andrae said late last night. Asked whether the Facebook 'game' was linked to the attack, he replied it was 'one part of the comprehensive investigation we are conducting'.

Molly... hard to say what the German phrases are.. language is a funny old thing :)

Even when the words are english they have different "weight" in different countries..

Translation from Redit (uncensored)

https://m.reddit.com/r/Munich22July/com ... mpact=true


Balcony Man: "You fucking Asshole you..."

Shooter: "Because of you I was bullied for 7 years..."

Balcony Man: "You wanker you. you're a wanker"

Shooter: "...and now I have to buy a gun to shoot you"

Balcony Man: "a gun! fuck off! your head should be cut off/open you asshole"

Shooter and Balcony man shouting at each other

Balcony Man apparently to people filming: "He's got a gun here the guy has one"

Unseen voice: "Shit/Fucking Turks!"

Balcony Man: "Shit/Fucking Kanacken" (derogatory term for people of Middle Eastern descent)

Balcony man to someone else : "EY! HE'S GOT A GUN! He has loaded his gun! Get the cops here! He's walking around here the wanker!"

Shooter: "I am German."

Balcony Man: "You're a wanker is what you are"

Shooter: "Stop filming!"

Balcony Man: "A wanker is what you are, what the fuck are you doing?"

Shooter: "Yeah what, I was born here!"

Balcony Man: "Yeah and what the fuck you think you're doing???"

Shooter: "I grew up here in the Hartz 4 (unemployment benefits in Germany) area, in the [unintelligible] region here in Hasenbergl.

Balcony Man and Shooter talk at same time, can't make it out.

Shooter says something about "Stationäre Behandlung" which is "stationary treatment" like in a psychiatry ward

Balcony Man says something like "Yeah treatment, you belong into a psychiatry ward"

Shooter: "How is it my fault, I haven't done anything in 5th grade" (This 5th grade might refer to German "Gymnasium" which is High School)

Shooter: "Shut your snout/mouth, sir" (He is using the German "Sie" which is a politer form, Schnauze is "snout" and a slang)

Balcony Man: "You cunt you"

Balcony Man: "HEY! HE'S ON THE UPPER FLOOR HERE [unintelligible]"

Filming man goes into cover, shooter starts firing.

Balcony man calls him a cunt again.

Balcony man: "They must have been shitting into your head" (A German slang for "Your mind is fucked up)

Shooter: "They have not! They have NOT, that's the thing! They have NOT!"

Video ends.

Munich shooting: David Sonboly 'planned attack for year'

The teenage gunman who killed nine people in Munich on Friday had been planning his attack for a year, German authorities say.

David Ali Sonboly, 18, who had a Glock pistol and more than 300 bullets, killed himself after the attack.

Bavarian officials said the gunman, still not officially named, appeared to have bought the illegal pistol used in the attack on the so called "dark net".

Vigils continue in the city to commemorate the victims.

Seven of the dead were teenagers - two Turks, two Germans, a Hungarian, a Greek and a Kosovan.

A further 35 people were injured, but only four of them have bullet wounds.

The state government officials told a news conference that the victims of the attack had not been specifically targeted and were not classmates of the gunman.

Also they did not include three youths allegedly involved in bullying Sonboly when he was at school.
