A big security operation is under way in the German city of Munich after shots have been fired in a shopping centre. There are reports of at least seven people killed, but police have not confirmed that figure. Police have said at least three gunmen were involved in the attack at the Olympia mall and warned they are still “on the run and dangerous”. Investigators say the “acute terror situation” has sparked the biggest police operation in Munich for more than a decade.



There have been unconfirmed reports of more violence and possible gunfire in other parts of the city centre. No details have emerged on who was behind the shooting and no one has claimed responsibility. People are being urged to stay at home and avoid the streets. Public transport has been suspended as the extensive security operation continues.



Fridays attack took place a week after a 17-year-old asylum-seeker wounded passengers on a German train in an axe rampage. Bavarian police shot dead the teenager after he wounded four people from Hong Kong on the train and injured a local resident while fleeing. The attack in Munich is the third major act of violence against civilian targets to take place in Western Europe in eight days. The authorities had warned of the danger of further attacks.
