Eight people have been killed in Munich, Germany, after 3 gunmen started shooting sporadically, killing and injuring civilians in Germany. The police responded by alerting everyone to stay indoors and avoid public place with large people gathering, as this seems to be the target for the attackers.
The 3 gunmen according to eyewitnesses attacked the Olympia centre in the north-western Moosach district. And a helicopter was deployed in the city, and elite border security unit, GSG9, has been flown in.
The body of one of the attackers was later found 1km away from the shopping centre, and police checked his body for explosives. According to local media, one of the gunmen was said to have shot himself in the head, but investigators are yet to confirm that.
Thousands of people who could not get home after the attack have been offered an open door by local residents via a hashtag on Twitter, #Offenetür (open door).
