Twitter / A still from a video of people running from the scene.
Police have closed off a wide area around a large Munich shopping centre after shots were fired, a spokeswoman for the police said on Friday (July 22).
Police later confirmed multiple deaths. TV images showed dozens of emergency vehicles outside the mall.
No details were immediately available on injuries or who was responsible for the shooting, the spokeswoman said.
A staff member told Reuters by phone that employees were still hiding out in the mall and that he could see a severely injured casualty.
An official at the Munich Olympia Shopping Centre declined comment, saying only, “We are experiencing a problem.”
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.
