Twitter video reported showing lone gunman firing wildly on the street in front of a fast-food restaurant, other reports of 3 gunmen have been published. The Polizei are on a manhunt to find them.
New reports tell of an Iraqi man taken into custody by police after they rendered him helpless with stun grenades. The 40 year old man was motivated by an argument regarding custody of his child. He was shooting at his 24 year-old wife’s Syrian uncle, also 24, and hit him three times.
The authorities were called by a bystander and commenced shooting when they arrived at the scene, one shot glanced off the attacker’s leg, injuring him slightly. Then he aimed the pistol at his head, threatening to kill himself while lying on the street.
The injured uncle was taken to the hospital, while the police cordoned off the area and called in psychological reinforcement in an attempt to de-escalate the situation. The attack began at 18:09. At 21:00, the police began using shock grenades to confuse the attacker and were able to arrest him without further incident.
It is remarkable how the well-trained, disciplined Polizei managed to capture the gunman without further injury occuring in this case, while the young Afghan man that attacked several with an axe days ago had to be shot dead.
According to RT’s live feed, at least three victims are dead, three gunmen at large in an unrelated shooting that began at 17:52 near the Olympiacenter Mall. The number of casualties is still unclear. Eyewitness reports indicate hearing shots fired by a McDonalds near the mall and then inside the mall. A sniper posted on a rooftop opened fire, but none were injured by those shots.
Police evacuated the area expediently and have dispatched reinforcements from other Bavarian cities. The usually bustling area is now virtually deserted.
