German police calls for public to submit footage of attack
Appears the single shooter today in Munich might have been a far right shooter based on a conversation he had with a local who videoed the exchange....
CONFIRMED
Shooter shouted: "Ihr Scheissturken!" - "You ####ing Turks!"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xlnd3gqN61c
Shooter shouted: "I'm German. I was born here. I was in stationary treatment."
He spoke with a Munich dialect perfect German.....
If not the far right then mentally unstable.....
Impressive German Police use of Twitter in three languages........EU, FR, GM
German police calls for public to submit footage of attack
Separate thread for maximum exposure.
Quote:
MUNICH -- German police on Saturday appealed to members of the public to submit video and picture evidence after a lone gunman – with dual German-Iranian citizenship – killed nine people and injured 16 others after opening fire near a fast-food restaurant and at a shopping center before killing himself.
The attack was the third to target civilians in Europe in just over a week following a deadly assault in Nice that killed 84 people and a knife and ax rampage on a train in Bavaria that injured a group of Hong Kong tourists.
The man, 18, has not been named and his motive is not clear. He sparked a manhunt with 2,300 security forces across Germany's third largest city Friday after shooting at passersby outside a McDonald's restaurant and later at the Olympia mall. A "pistol" was used carry out the assault, police said.

A 51-year-old official has been arrested after being said to have made a “partial confession” to plotting the attack. An official told Der Spiegel that the suspect tried passing on “sensitive information” about the Germany’s domestic security agency, the BfV, which “could lead to a threat” at their spy office.

There are several relevant threads in the Forum's Europe area, notably the attacks in France and the main thread on Germany into which this is likely to be merged one day.
