[metalslimer]

Please no one jump to conclusions and let's let this play out. RIP to the victims if true

 

[D4Danger]

Seeing reports that the shooter was a German nationalist.

where's that image people post when there's a shooting

"reports of..." could mean anything.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

Yesterday I have been exactly at that place...

 

[Spenny]

Why spread rumours then? It's annoying and only adds to the confusion.

Sorry.

 

[Corto]

Stay safe Germany. My parents are just arriving at Berlin... Shit. Hope the catch every attcker involved.

 

[God Dayumm]

I know. Just a rumour.

Rumors have been accurate the past few times, so I believe you

 

[Addi]

Seeing reports that the shooter was a German nationalist.

It's too early to know, but it crossed my mind that today is the 5th anniversary of the Breivik shooting

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

Seeing reports that the shooter was a German nationalist.

Germany has accepted 10 times more refugees than France. It's going to happen in some way.

Lets just wait, shall we?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Good news appears to be that it's over.

The shooting at a Munich shopping mall is over, police spokeswoman Claudia Kvenzel said. Police are asking people to avoid the area. Kvenzel had no further information.

 

[ElTorro]

/edit: nvm, unclear if fake or not

 

[The Atticus]

Germany has accepted 10 times more refugees than France. It's going to happen in some way.

I know you're probably not a cunt but what are you saying here

edit: You edited.

 

[Hesemonni]

This is getting ridiculously. Hopefully it gets resolved swiftly.

 

[Assault]

Germany has accepted 10 times more refugees than France. It's going to happen in some way.

Why don't you just hush your damn mouth and wait for the facts?

 

[Liha]

I won't cancel my trip to Munich next month #fuckterror

 

[BodiesWithoutOrgans]

They're from out of country/the EU, but they just contacted me. They're fine.

I'm so glad for you and your family

 

[King Tubby]

If you're going to mention rumor or "reports" provide a source for the claim, please.

I hope the situation is under control and there aren't too many hurt.

 

[His Majesty]

Hopefully everyone came out unscathed.

Any news about whether the shooter was captured alive?

 

[Brerlappin]

Jesus fucking Christ not again. I love Munich. Hope it's not as bad as the initial reports here seem

 

[Hazzuh]

One of the things I've heard about mass shootings is that lots of media coverage tends to inspire copy-cat events. I wonder if the internet/social media is responsible for what feels like a proliferation in these sorts of attacks.

 

[YianGaruga]

Man this shit is getting closer and closer to where I live. This is uncomfortably close. Hope they get the situation under control to prevent further losses.

 

[slider]

Seeing reports that the shooter was a German nationalist.

Thanks for the info. But whoever, and whatever their motive, they're a cunt. Fuck them.

Love to my German brothers and sisters.

Edit: Sigh.

 

[Nightbird]

Damn, i have an buddy in Munich right now.

I gotta see if he's safe

 

[Keasar]

I have nothing to say that feels appropriate, I just hope it isn't as severe as some report it to be.

 

[HvySky]

Germany has accepted 10 times more refugees than France. It's going to happen in some way.

It was a general statement, didn't really mean anything else by it. Regardless of the context it's still a shitty situation.

 

[HK-47]

If you dont post sources during an evolving news story, you shouldnt post at all.

 

[Goldmund]

A lot of Kripo in the streets even where I live.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Shooting has ended according to CNN ?

[Salty Rice]

Please no not again. Hope for the best.

The axe attack was enough and now this.

 

[sankt-Antonio]

Police friend told me to stay at home. Munich police force apparently are very serious about this.

 

[Cub3h]

According to the French PM this is the new normal. I detested Brexit, but I'm beginning to wonder if distancing from the EU and its failed immigration and anti-terror policies is worth the economic downturn. Rather slightly poorer than blown to bits.

 

[dakun]

News agency AFP saying 1 dead 10 injured according to German TV station N24

 

[NihonTiger90]

EDIT: Confirmed those photos were not from this situation.

 

[MThanded]

According to the French PM this is the new normal. I'm more and more glad Brexit happened, and I'm an EU immigrant in the UK.

We have no idea what or who perpetrated this.

 

[Randomizer123454444]

News in my country only talk about "wounded", doesn't talk about fatalities yet. Le'ts hope it stays that way.

edit:

Just a warning. There's photos of dead bodies at the mall already on Twitter, so be careful if you're surfing social media.

Crap

Fucking hell...

 

[TM94]

A shame the shooter didn't decide to simply shoot themselves instead of sullying the world with their pitiful acts.

Could be, unfortunately.

 

[CheDominik]

Let's hope the only one dead is the attacker....

 

[superdeluxe]

photos appearing on twitter, Not verified though if they are from the Mall shooting today. But already several news agencies are reporting fatalities

 

[therealist]

News agency AFP saying 1 dead 10 injured according to German TV station N24

If true this is a good outcome, hope the "1 dead" is the shooter, then we can celebrate.

 

[ElTorro]

Just a warning. There's photos of dead bodies at the mall already on Twitter, so be careful if you're surfing social media.

I've seen responses to these pictures saying that they are fake and from another event.

In any case, police has confirmed casualties.

That's definitely a huge factor unfortunately. That's why ISIS gets to claim responsibility to many terror attacks that they had no direct links to. Not saying that this particular attack has anything to do with them btw.

They're old and not related to this incident.

 

[Sil]

I know you're probably not a cunt but what are you saying here

He's right though, there will be - statistically - more terrorists amongst the refugees considering Germany's higher intake.

It's no secrect or taboo that IS used and is using refugee streams to transport terrorists to Europe in order to spread fear..

 

[Noirulus]

Fuck man, what is going on this year.

 

[NihonTiger90]

Oh, good to hear on the photo, but at the same time, awful to hear about those casualties.

 

[dark10x]

Really getting fucking sick of this shit. I simply don't understand what is wrong with these people.

 

[Mahonay]

Glad to hear the shooting was stopped pretty quickly. I hope the number of fatalities is very low.

 

[RangerX]

Jesus the regularity of these events of is depressing. We should wait for legitimate news sources before we start jumping to conclusions. My thoughts are with the families of the victims.
