> ...have German eyewitnesses stating that the shooter was shouting, in German “I’m a German. F**k foreigners!”

I heard the video, and all he says is "Ich bin Deutscher" (I am German), no comment about foreigners. He himself may be of Iranian ancestry. A German news source says that the police (the "Polizeipräsident") have identified him as an 18-year-old Iranian-German from Munich ("18-jähriger Deutsch-Iraner aus München).

Several other German sources are reporting that the shooter was an Iranian-German (e.g., Die Welt, Zeit Online). "Es handle sich um einen 18-jährigen Deutsch-Iraner aus München, sagte Polizeipräsident Hubertus Andrä am frühen Samstagmorgen vor der Presse."

“I heard the video....” Yes, it is now 7 hours since the news broke and the first reports came in and I made in comment # 8 that you are commenting on. This is why I said the following in my post # 48:

I Take all early reports with a skip loader of salt and caution.
