At least 15 dead, says a major Munich newspaper:

The "15 dead" number is according to eyewitnesses who saw "several dead people on the floor".

So, let's hope the actual number is much lower ... we need to wait until the police operation is over.

Police has now officially confirmed several dead people (no number).

The killer(s) are still on the run, apparently they went from one shopping center (the OEZ) to another shopping center nearby (the MONA), or into the nearby subway station.

The subway is meanwhile closed.

Something strange:

The same journalist was at the shopping center today before the attack ... (and is now reporting in front of it).

This looks like something bigger:

All doctors at home in the Munich area have been told to rush to the hospitals for emergency surgeries.

A worker from a drugstore in the other shopping center has reported several injured there and the killer(s) are still on the run ...

My first thought was terrorism. Do we know the motive?

Anyway, this is really sad. I hope this doesn't get worse.

No, because the police operation is still ongoing.

Apparently, the killer(s) escaped into the subway.

Meanwhile, shots have been fired at the Stachus square.

Wild speculation is not helpful or in good taste while the situation is ongoing and when there's not much information. Whatever your politics it's tasteless, don't do it.

The killer(s) are definitely on the run somewhere in the Inner City. There has been a new shooting at a McDonald's.

The Police and SWAT teams are very nervous and running heavily armed through the city.

All public transport has been halted and police asked everyone to stay indoors.

The Bavarian Civil Alert Service has just issued a warning for Marienplatz and Karlsplatz squares (shots being fired and people should get the f**k away from there or stay inside).

The police just tweeted they have no clue where the killers currently are (hiding).

That's awful. At least one of my Munich friends is marked as safe so far. :/

One of my high school classmates is now living in Munich ... I hope she's OK.

Need to text her at WhatsApp.
