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. 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.

As we detailed earlier, for the second time in a week, Germany is facing another ‘incident’ as The BBC reports“shots fired” in a Munich, Germany shopping center. According to the local police there is now a “major operation” at the Olympia shopping center. As BBC adds, reports say the area round the shopping centre in the district of Moosach has been sealed off, but details of the incident are sketchy. The security forces have been on alert after a migrant stabbed five people on a train in Bavaria on Monday.

The authorities had warned of the danger of further attacks.

The alleged shooting takes place shortly after Reuters reported that more than three-quarters of Germans believe their country will soon be the target of terrorism, a survey showed on Friday, after a 17-year-old asylum-seeker wounded passengers on a train in an ax attack claimed by Islamic State.

 

Seventy-seven percent expect an attack to happen soon, up from 69 percent two weeks ago,according to the survey compiled by Forschungsgruppe Wahlen for broadcaster ZDF.

Bavarian police shot dead the teenager after he wounded four people from Hong Kong on the train and injured a local resident while fleeing.

And now, according to unconfirmed reports, it just happened as up to 15 people are feared dead after 30 shots were fired.
