A gunman
shouting 'Allahu Akbar' opened fire at children in McDonald's before
rampaging through a shopping mall, killing at least eight people.
Munich
is in lockdown tonight, as 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.
A ninth body has been found tonight and investigators are looking into the possibility of it being the attacker.
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 'Allahu Akbar' before shooting at children.
A woman named Loretta said she was in the McDonald's when the man with a gun came out of a bathroom and began shooting.
She
told CNN: 'I come out of the toilet and I hear like an alarm, boom,
boom, boom. He's killing the children. The children were sitting to eat.
They can't run.'
Loretta
said she had been in the bathroom at the same time as the shooter, with
her eight-year-old son. She said the man yelled: 'Allahu Akbar!'
