'Shots fired' in Munich shopping centre, German police deployed

Shots have been fired in a Munich shopping centre and a major police operation is under way German media is reporting.

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.

Looks horrible, more details to follow.

Unconfirmed reports so far of at least 3 killed.

Except this is in Germany and this could be a potential terror attack in what has been an already violent week. Keep your US gun control debate out of this thread please.

No it really isn't. Stop confusing the rest of America with some Democrat controlled, gun controlled city like Chicago.

German TV reports on a single shooter who opened fire in a restaurant inside a Munich mall. Many hurt and several killed.

Awful, I hope that it doesn't turn out bad like we have seen recently. They say the shooter is dead and the scene is secure.

I'm so glad you brought up gun control. Does Germany have gun control laws?

Re: 'Shots fired' in Munich shopping centre, German police deployed

If this Islamic fundamentalists then alarm bells need to start ringing ( if they are not already). These attacks are now becoming more frequent and will continue to as civil unrest/friction in the communities is allowed to continue. Europe's inability to stop these attacks is only going to encourage and inspire more radicals.

Time to draw a line in the sand.

Don't wet yourself in anticipation....cuz it might not be a terrorist attack at all.

These mass shootings in general are becoming the new "norm" (as sad as that sounds). Waiting for the new details tho before jumping to any conclusions.

Strict gun control.

The German system of gun control is among the most stringent in Europe. It restricts the acquisition, possession, and carrying of firearms to those with a creditable need for a weapon. It bans fully automatic weapons and severely restricts the acquisition of other types of weapons. Compulsory liability insurance is required for anyone who is licensed to carry firearms.

Agreed.

What sort of line are you talking about?
