UPDATE: ‘We believe we are dealing with a shooting rampage’ - Munich police.
Germany’s Muencher Abendzeitung reported that up to 15 people were killed in a shooting in a shopping mall in the southern city of Munich.
TV images showed dozens of emergency vehicles outside the mall.
The shopping center is next to the Munich Olympic stadium, where the Palestinian militant group Black September took 11 Israeli athletes hostage and eventually killed them during the 1972 Olympic Games.

The newspaper Die Welt also reports a second shooting.
There are no more details yet.
People advised to open gun safe and load and lock.
That looks like a terror attack training simulation. Everyone is wearing ear protection.
Yes, and on twitter, there is already some fool yelling “PLEASE BY WHITE PLEASE BE WHITE...”
Sigh...
