Several people have been shot dead after shots were fired at a shopping centre in Munich, police have confirmed.
Police say they believe they are dealing with more than one attacker. A police spokeswoman told Reuters: “We believe we are dealing with a shooting rampage”.
The shots were heard at a shopping centre in the Moosach district of Munich, Germany, according to reports, with a major police operation under way.
Germany’s Muencher Abendzeitung reported that up to 15 people have been killed in the shooting in the southern city of Munich.
German media have reported there multiple deaths at the scene. Live footage from the scene shows multiple emergency services at the scene while members of the public flee the area.
“There is a major police operation under way in the shopping centre,” Munich police said on Twitter.
Staff in the shopping mall are still hiding, an employee told Reuters by telephone.
“Many shots were fired, I can’t say how many but it’s been a lot,” the employee, who declined to be identified, said from the mall in Munich.
“All the people from outside came streaming into the store and I only saw one person on the ground who was so severely injured that he definitely didn’t survive,”
“We have no further information, we’re just staying in the back in the storage rooms. No police have approached us yet.”
Munich transport authorities said they had halted several bus, train and tram lines.
