Munich Shopping Centre under attack
German police have evacuated a shopping centre in Munich after receiving reports that shots were fired, and a major police operation is under way in the city.
Local police have reported that an assailant shot at people in cafe located in the Olympia shopping centre and railway station.
There are conflicting reports as to the number of casualties with local media reporting up to 10 people have been killed in the centre, with several more injured.
Emergency services remain at the scene and the shooter is apparently still on the run.
Munich’s security forces have been on alert after a teenager armed with an axe and a knife attacked passengers on a regional train in northern Bavaria on Monday, before being shot dead by police.
