Shots Fired At German Shopping Mall — ‘Multiple Deaths

Several gunshots are reported to have been fired at a shopping centre in Munich.

The gunshots were heard at the Olympiapark shopping centre in Munich and police have announced on twitter that anyone in the area should leave immediately.

A major police operation is currently underway as many witnesses are reporting a very large police presence in the area.

Unconfirmed reports are stating that there may be several casualties as at least one alleged witness has posted a picture of what appears to be injured victims, though there is still no word from Munich police.

The shopping mall is located in the old Olympic park which was built for the 1972 Olympics. The Munich Olympics is well known for being the site of the massacre of Israeli athletes by Palestinian gunmen.

It is not over...
The U-Bahn is on lock down, several major S-Bahn stations are closed
Phone and Internet are slow.
Half of my team is stuck somewhere and can't get home

I hate to say it but,

"We told you so!"

If this turns out to be "radical Islamic terrorists" Germany will soon be tearing itself apart from within. And then it will spread like a wildfire across Europe.

The French maybe are still the worlds pacifists. Germany has a long history of crushing people in ways that have made history.

eine_frau 07-22-2016 12:21

I don't think we are surprised... The question was not if, it was when we would be a target, too.


And everybody I spoke to expects this to turn out to be a terror attack. We were just mostly lucky so far.


For now I am praying for my team to get home safe.

Link with video of initial shooter ...

He brazenly stands there and fires his weapon because he knows NO ONE will fight back because the German citizens have been unarmed by their government.

Translated that means employ your best game of hide and seek cause if you're not already in the US Consulate, you're fooked if found. (But don't worry about us here in the US Consulate, we have armed Marines to protect us. Politicians always have an armed escort :munchin)

Yeah that's really weird. At first I thought headphones like Beets or something. But then I noticed everyone wearing the same.

I wonder if this an active shooter training video and it's been picked up and run as current news.

The people in the restaurant didn't seem to be hitting the floor or running like hell.

Somethings fishy about all that.

Thank you. They are all accounted for. A few of them including a patient are "sheltering in place" at my work. One is stuck at a big outdoor festival (that I am very glad was not the target)

We've actually got a betting window open that it's a:

White, Christian Male, named Steve, who is also an NRA member.

So far, we've got a line around the block and all of those betting have Bernie, Hillary, and or Obama shirts/hats/buttons on.

Divemaster 07-22-2016 13:34

This sucks. I love München. I'm glad they didn't hit during Oktoberfest.

Divemaster 07-22-2016 14:18

Don't be surprised if three shooters turn out to be one.

Today is the 5th anniversary of the Norway attacks. This might be an anti-immigrant strike.

Not familiar with the area. What's the distance between them places?

It will mark another turn since Brussels and Paris for multiple location attacks.

The police and counter-terrorism police/military had better start having a plan soon. A plan that begins with: if A happens here what are B-Z that are most likely?

The mall and the parking garage are directly across the street from the McDonalds.

Munich police are tweeting about a suicide related to the earlier shooting. While they haven't said it's the shooter, it seems to be leaning that way.

Glad you and your team are safe.

We made contact with family and friends and they are safe at the moment.

We too love Munich - wife was just there this past May - beautiful part of the world.

Stay safe !

eine_frau 07-22-2016 15:46

Thank you, I have not heard any sirens in the past 15 minutes, things are finally calming down.
I hope the ninth dead person is the shooter. By now every few minutes the story changes.

I've heard a number of conflicting reports, from the shooter yelling "Allah Akbar" to "fuck the foreigners". Probably Islamic related, but as has already been said could be an anti-migrant attack too. Both would make sense at this point. With reports so conflicting it will be a little while before the story solidifies.

Divemaster 07-22-2016 17:18

At the top of the next hour (0200 Germany, 1700 East Coast) the Munich police will be holding a press conference. They also just tweeted that public transport will reopen.

Thanking God that you and yours are all safe. Broke my heart seeing pictures of places that we saw last month when we were there. Take care.

Divemaster 07-22-2016 17:30

The silver lining, or glass half full view, is that there were probably a few hundred people sheltering in place at the Hofbräuhaus.

Divemaster 07-22-2016 17:36

Latest news from Munich police: The shooter has killed himself and the police believe he acted alone.

Hopefully all safe and enjoying the pretzels that are as big as your head followed by a healthy helping of pigs knuckles. :D:D:D

On my first trip there I took this photo of a local tucking into a pig knuckle, or Schweinshaxn at the Hofbräuhaus. I've found a place in Seattle where they serve it.

Divemaster 07-22-2016 18:23

Munich police president describes the shooter as an 18-year-old "Iranian from Munich".
