    I've read anywhere from 6 - 12 dead. This is insane. Looks like it's not going to stop anytime soon.

    Munich is on lockdown.

    Reports: 6 dead in Munich mall shooting; manhunt underway

    MUNICH (AP) -- Munich police warned people to avoid public places Friday as they hunted for the shooter or shooters who opened fire at a shopping mall, killing six people and wounding others in a rampage described as "suspected terrorism," police and media reports said.

    "At the moment no culprit has been arrested," police in the Bavarian capital said on social media. "The search is taking place at high speed."

    The city of Munich sent a smartphone alert telling people to stay indoors and German rail company Deutsche Bahn stopped train traffic to Munich's main station.

    Police said witnesses reported seeing three people with firearms near the Olympia Einkaufszentrum mall.

    Munich police spokeswoman Claudia Kuenzel told The Associated Press there were "several dead and wounded" in the shooting. She could not provide exact numbers. Bavarian public broadcaster Bayrischer Rundfunk and Munich-based Focus magazine, citing sources they did not identify, said six people were killed.

    It appears this scumbag was aiming for the children.

    'Boom boom boom - he's killing the kids'

    A number of people have been killed and another 10 people are injured after gunmen went on a shooting rampage
    Police operation is ongoing in Munich, with the force warning people to stay in their homes and avoid public spaces
    Terrified shoppers were seen running for their lives from the Olympia Shopping Centre after hearing gunshots
    Witnesses said that the shopping centre gunman screamed 'I'm German' and 'Allahu Akbar' before shooting
    Gunman reportedly fled after his shooting spree on the city underground network, which has now been shut down
    City is in lockdown as police say they are searching for up to three gunmen, who are all on the run, after the attack

    A gunman shouting 'Allahu Akbar' opened fire at children in McDonald's before rampaging through a shopping mall, killing at least eight people.

    Munich is in lockdown tonight, as a major police operation is ongoing around the city's Olympic Park, with the force warning people to stay in their homes and avoid public spaces.

    A ninth body has been found tonight and investigators are looking into the possibility of it being the attacker.

    Terrified shoppers were seen running for their lives from the Munich Olympia Shopping Centre, in the district of Moosach, after hearing gunshots.

    Witnesses said that the gunman screamed 'I'm German' and 'Allahu Akbar' before shooting at children.

    A woman named Loretta said she was in the McDonald's when the man with a gun came out of a bathroom and began shooting.

    She told CNN: 'I come out of the toilet and I hear like an alarm, boom, boom, boom. He's killing the children. The children were sitting to eat. They can't run.'

    Loretta said she had been in the bathroom at the same time as the shooter, with her eight-year-old son. She said the man yelled: 'Allahu Akbar!'

    I've been telling my wife for years, you want to fuck with the U.S.? Attack a mall. Attack several. A coordinated attack at six or seven malls across the country and online shopping would be the new normal. Malls would shut down, businesses would go tits up, people would lose their jobs, it would be a mess...

    Ruining the water supply will cause more problems than a mall shooting.

    There are any number of ways to "terrorize" a country. with a small group.
    It's one of the reasons why I've always been skeptical of a Wide and Deep U.S. terror threat.
    The opportunities are everywhere. the military bases and the Faux security and Airports are the ONLY places that are on supposed lock down. nearly everything else wide open.

    JULY 23, 2016


    WE ALL KNEW THIS WAS COMING: Lack of Faith in Merkel Spreads With Bavaria’s Bloody Week of Mayhem: #WelcomeRefugees has come back to bite Germany as two murderous Muslim newcomers put the country on edge.

    One need hardly be a far-right German to be unnerved that young people welcomed warmly to the country only a year ago, penniless and in need of sanctuary, now want to kill their “infidel” hosts. For Chancellor Angela Merkel, the consequences of domestic terrorism by Muslim newcomers promise to be politically harmful, and perhaps lethal. While Merkel delayed her Alpine holiday this weekend to head a meeting of her national security team in response to the Munich attack—showing more tact than President Obama, who joked during his statement about the massacre—skeptics will deem this insufficient.

    After all, it was Chancellor Merkel who opened the country’s doors last summer in a fit of sunny optimism that already looks like a weighty political liability. Although there’s no indication that the Würzburg attacker had anything to do with the Islamic State except in his own sick mind, that’s cold comfort given the vast numbers of Muslim young men in Germany at the moment. ISIS was only too happy to hail the dead Afghan as their “soldier,” releasing the now-obligatory video of the “martyr” swearing allegiance to the Islamic State.

    Germans, who are not used to their government being inept and dishonest, are shocked by all this.

    Welcome to the club, guys.

    Saw this going around FB - sums it up.

    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
