A hunt is under way in the German city of Munch after at least one shooter opened fire at the Olympia shopping centre.
Several people are believed to have been killed, a Munich police spokeswoman said.
The city transit system has been shut down and people are asked to avoid public places.
“At the moment no culprit has been arrested” and “the search is taking place at high speed”, Munich police said on social media.
Police said witnesses reported seeing three different people with guns near the Olympia Einkaufszentrum mall.
Police spokesman Thomas Baumann told German news agency dpa the attack started at a fast food restaurant in the mall shortly before 18:00 local time.
Public broadcaster Bayrischer Rundfunk reported that shops in the centre of Munich had closed with customers inside.
