At least one shooter is still on the loose after a shooting inside a McDonald's at Munich's Olympia shopping mall Friday, police spokeswoman Claudia Küntzel said.

"There could be several dead and one or even several shooters are on the loose," Küntzel said.

The shooting at the McDonald's happened around 5:50 p.m. (11:50 a.m. ET), she said.
It's unclear whether shootings have occurred at other locations, and whether the gunfire has stopped.

Gunfire rang out Friday evening at a shopping mall in the German city of Munich, leaving several people dead and others wounded, CNN affiliate NTV reported.

Grinning Obama JOKES during statement on Munich carnage

aAs news reports of a gun massacre in Munich crossed the Atlantic Ocean on Friday, the President of the United States was cracking jokes.



Barack Obama delivered a brief update to reporters at the White House about the still-unfolding shooting rampage that left the German city on lockdown.



Eight are confirmed dead, and 10 injured.



The president was speaking to law enforcement agents at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, adjacent to the White House.



But as cameras rolled on the somber moment, Obama grinned and chuckled – and drew laughs from his audience – about his elder daughter Malia leaving the nest and heading for college.

It’s believed the suspect, who shot himself, was German-Iranian and had arrived in Germany recently.

Ali David Sonboly was an 18-year-old of who had both German and Iranian citizenship and lived locally.

He had been living in Munich for more than two years. His flat and personal belongings are being examined.

At a police press conference this morning they said there were indications the gunman had been in psychiatric care and treated for depression.

There is no evidence that he had any links to Islamic State or refugees, they said.

He was born and raised in the German city, and acted alone when he went on a rampage at a shopping centre and fast-food restaurant on Friday.

They also revealed he used a 9mm pistol and had 300 rounds of ammunition when he went on what they called a "classic shooting rampage".

That was interesting. Apparently he felt like he was treated as a foreigner even though he had been born in Germany.

Police in Munich say they have arrested a 16-year-old Afghan friend of David Ali Sonboly, who killed nine people at a Munich shopping centre on Friday.

 

They say the teenager is under investigation for failing to report the attacker's plans, and that he could have been an accomplice.

 

Sonboly, 18, had been planning his attack for a year, police said earlier.

 

They say he had a Glock pistol which he may have bought on the so-called dark net.
