Terrifying moment gunman shouting 'f*** foreigners' opens fire outside Munich shopping centre as at least FIVE die and many are injured in shooting rampage: Police hunting for THREE gunmen
Munich is in lockdown tonight as at least five people have been killed and 10 injured in a shooting rampage involving three gunmen.
A major police operation is ongoing around the city's Olympic Park, with the force warning people to stay in their homes and avoid public spaces as they admitted they don't know where the gunmen are.
A huge manhunt has been launched across the city, including snipers in helicopters, to catch the gunmen who are still on the loose.
Terrified shoppers were seen running for their lives from the Munich Olympia Shopping Centre, in the district of Moosach, after hearing gunshots.
Witnesses said that the gunman screamed 'I'm German' and 'f*** foreigners' before shooting.
A video purporting to show the shooter, dressed in black, firing 20 shots has been posted on Twitter. The footage shows him outside a McDonald's directly outside the shopping centre.
In unverified footage, a man with dark hair, wearing a black t-shirt and denim trousers, appears to take aim at people outside a McDonald's restaurant near the Olympia-Einkaufszentrum metro station.
He raises his arms, apparently holding a shotgun, and appears to fire at people outside the restaurant, who can be seen running for cover.
The sound of multiple shots being fired can be heard as shoppers and passers-by run for cover. People were seen fleeing from the building in another video posted on social media.
In another video on social media a man can be heard yelling at suspect in the car park that he is a 'w*****' and an 'a******e.' And he yelled: 'Put your gun down.'
The gunman, when he walks across the roof of the carpark, shouts out: 'I am a German!'
The man who is abusing him then shouts out; 'You are a w*****!' The gunman tells him to 'shut your trap.' Then he fires more shots and the rest of what is said is unintelligible.
The area around the Munich Olympia Shopping Centre, in the district of Moosach, has been sealed off as emergency services try to control the situation. Snipers in helicopters are circling the city from above, according to Bild.
An electrical shop next to the shopping centre is being used as a makeshift hospital to treat the casualties.
Off-duty doctors and nurses have been summoned to hospitals in Munich, with a hospital spokesperson telling DPA: 'The alarm for a 'mass attack' has been triggered.'
Police have confirmed that there at least six deaths as a result of the incident and German media have reported there may be up to 15 killed.
Tonight, Munich police tweeted: 'We currently do not know where to find the perpetrators. Watch yourself and avoid to be the public'.
A second shooting has taken place near Marienplatz subway station, which is just four miles from the Olympic Park area.
Despite reports on social media, Munich Fire Department said it was not aware of a separate shooting at the city's Stachus central square
Munich Police said in a statement: 'At around 5.50pm (local time) today there were witnesses who called the police and said there was a shooting at the Hanauer Street.
'The shooting moved from that street to the shopping centre. The witnesses said there were three different people with weapons.
'At the moment no culprit has been arrested. The search is taking place at high speed.'
A police reporter for Bavarian Radio said police were moving people off the streets in central Munich as they search for the perpetrators.
'All of the police forces are at the shopping centre and at the official places in Munich as well and they're calling out that nobody's allowed to go to the official places,' the reporter, Lena Deutch, told the BBC.
'They are trying to close everything down because we do not know where this person who's been doing the shooting is at the moment.'
It is reported that at least one of the gunman fled after his shooting spree on the city underground network, which has now been shut down. The country's train operator confirmed the main station had been evacuated.
Photos flashed on to social media sites of at least one body covered by aluminium sheets.
'Stay in your homes. Leave the road!' Polizei München said in a Tweet.
A spokesman for the German police said there was a 'shooting spree'. An official at the Munich Olympia Shopping Centre declined comment, saying only, 'We are experiencing a problem.'
Thamina Stoll, 22, of Durham, North Carolina, who is in Munich on a summer internship, filmed people fleeing the shopping centre during the attacks from her grandma's apartment.
She said she had just visited the shopping centre with her grandma and a cousin for an hour before the shooting started.
However, she was due to return to the centre with more members of her family when her mum and dad arrived.
'When we went down to the street, we ran into another family and they were in shock,' she told MailOnline.
'They were scared and they told us not to go back to the shopping mall. After we were spoken to by the family, we went back upstairs to my grandma's apartment - who lives about three minutes away from the shopping mall. We took in the family. They were so scared.
'From the balcony we were able to witness about 50 people running towards our house seeking shelter. Sirens started to arrive and a helicopter appeared.'
Ms Stoll said the family felt like the other family who warned them had saved their lives.
'I feel very lucky because I had been there an hour before and I was just about to return,' she said.
'Me and my family - we were saved. We are completely safe but there were still a lot of people running.'
'God knows what would have happened to us if my family had decided to go that shopping mall half an hour later. We might not be alive now.'
Workers have said they are still hiding inside the Munich shopping centre after the shooting in the building.
One employee reported that 'many shots were fired' during the incident and he saw one person lying on the ground with serious injuries.
Another said: 'Many shots were fired, I can't say how many but it's been a lot.
'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.'
Another worker, Lynn Stein, told CNN: 'I was just going to buy something while my co-worker was still in the shop.
'People started running. I went outside as well, more people were running outside. I think I heard more shots. Then it sounded like he went to the parking house next to the mall - several shots there.
'I saw somebody lying on the floor, presumably dead and there's a woman over them, crying.'
The shopping centre is next to the Munich Olympic stadium, where the Palestinian militant group Black September took 11 Israeli athletes hostage and eventually killed them during the 1972 Olympic Games.
Thamina Stoll, a university student in Munich, tweeted video of the scene showing people running.
'Helicopter, sirens and people on the street #Munich #shooting #OEZ #München,' she said.
'At least 30 police cars on their way to #Munich #shoppingmall according to local radio station. Area around mall blocked by police.'
British nationals in Germany are being advised to comply with instructions from local authorities.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: 'We are urgently investigating an incident in Munich and stand ready to provide assistance to British Nationals.'
US President Barack Obama pledged support to Germany in the wake of the deadly shooting rampage, as officials said they were working to determine if any American citizens were affected. [comment: f*ck off, Obama, you assh*le. American & Anglo capitalist occupation of Germany is why Germany is destroyed as a German homeland, and why Germans are shooting in the streets. ]
Obama, speaking at a meeting with law enforcement officials, said: 'Our hearts go out to those who may have been injured. It's still an active situation, and Germany's one of our closest allies, so we are going to pledge all the support that they may need in dealing with these circumstances.' [comment: GERMANY IS F*CKING OCCUPIED. OCCUPIED. NOT AN 'ALLY'. A HOSTAGE. A PRISONER.]
At the State Department, spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau said US officials were working with local authorities to determine if any US citizens were affected by the incident.
The shooting comes just days after a teenage asylum seeker went on the rampage with an axe and a knife on a regional train in Germany, injuring five people.
Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said the teenager was believed to be a 'lone wolf' attacker who appeared to have been 'inspired' by the Islamic State group but was not a member of the jihadist network. [comment: who gives a f*ck. He's not German. ]
But the shootings come just days after a teenage asylum seeker went on a rampage with an axe and a knife on a regional train in Germany on Monday, injuring five people, two of them critically.
One victim is still fighting for his life, the hospital treating him said today.
Authorities said he shouted 'Allahu akbar' (God is greatest) three times as he ran through the carriage slashing passengers on the train near the southern city of Wuerzburg.
The attacker is believed to be either Afghan or Pakistani and investigators are still trying to determine his identity.
The train rampage triggered calls by politicians in Bavaria, of which Munich is the capital, to impose an upper limit on the number of refugees coming into the country.
The assailant had arrived as an unaccompanied minor in Germany in June 2015 and had been staying with a foster family in the region of the attack for the last two weeks.
A record 1.1million migrants and refugees were let in to Germany last year, with Syrians making up the largest group followed by Afghans.
In the latest attack in France, 31-year-old Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel used a truck to mow down 84 people, including children, in the Riviera city of Nice last week.
It was the third major attack on French soil in the past 18 months, after the jihadist carnage in Paris in November and the shootings at satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and a kosher supermarket in January 2015.
In March, Islamic State-claimed suicide bomb attacks at Brussels airport and a city metro station left 32 people dead.
In May in Germany, a mentally unstable 27-year-old man carried out a knife attack on a regional train in the south of the country , killing one person and injuring three others.

Seeing conflicting media reports on #Munch shooter. He either shouted "Alluha Akbar" or "I'm German, I hate foreigners."
COMMENT
I fully support the native German people, who have been under US-Anglo capitalist occupation since 1945.
The capitalists are the reason the heart of Europe, Germany, is overrun by foreigners.
However, German resisters of destruction of Germany as ancestral homeland of the German people need to find more effective ways to resist, as suicide missions are inherently limiting.
