Shooting at shopping mall in Munich
- Thread starter Eboard10
- Start date
In Munich Underground, Busses and Tramway do not drive anymore due to a police operation - most probably due to this shooting at the mall. There is also something going on at Karlsplatz (a central place in Munich) as the S-bahn (fast local train) does not stop there right now.
According to live ticker it seems there were more than one person connected with these shootings. It seems also in the center (Karlsplatz - Stachus) there were shootings. They speak about "Amokl" connected with these events. There seem to be some dead persons at the mall (OEZ).
One should avoid public places in Munich.

They make something big out of this. Munich called "special case" because of amok. People should stay home and no public trafik any more. The incident at Karlsplatz was only panik of the people, they claim. They say 6 are dead. All hospitals in Munich were alarmed to expect many hurt people. Munich central station and mall were evacuated. It seems that 3 shooters were connected to this.
That is indeed crazy and eye witnesses spoke of several attackers. Let's wait and see how the story develops. Take care everyone in Munich.
Here is one video and I think of the same shooter as pictured above (be careful to watch, he is shooting directly on people):

Watched the mainstream news (tagesschau 8pm), a few notes for later reference:
* the journalists seemed to be very confused and ill-informed, everything was very unprofessional and improvised (technical problems etc.)
* one journalist (Richard Guthier?) managed to get inside the olympia mall before it was closed, he said the police is totally nervous, running around with their guns up.
* Police had problems arriving at the scene, general confusion
* he also said that he heard from 6-7 eye-witnesses that they heard shots inside AND outside the mall AND at the fast food restaurant, so there must have been more than one perpetrator
* Perpetrators still fugitive, police still after them. Some reports claim they are armed with rifles, but this is doubted or not confirmed by another journalist, who only saw the one with a pistol in the video (see video Gawan posted).
* Perpetrator(s) were seen on the roof (?)
*Huge police operation
* Press service of the police initially talked about a "amok situation", later also said "terror". Journalists/experts say terror attack possible because there was more than one perpetrator.
* most journalists/commentators didn't jump to conclusions so far
* security services apparently proclaimed "heightened terror risk" for Munich and southern Germany prior to the event

This seems to have the makings of an organised attack.
1) There are multiple shooters at large and nobody knows how many; multiple shooting locations; more paranoia caused through "false" alarm
2) someone just happens to zoom into the scene in front of that McDonalds restaurant, right as it begins
3) after 4 hours, the three(?) still aren't caught, no explosions have been heard
Unlike the Nice and Würzburg attacks, this doesn't seem to be done by a single individual who snapped.
This seems more like what happened in Paris.
This is developing into something major :O
