Munich police say the killer of nine people in a downtown shooting was a mentally-troubled 18-year-old with no criminal record and no ties to terrorism. He was, said the cops, apparently obsessed with mass death. Literature suggesting this was found in his home. They say he posted a Facebook invitation prior to the attack telling young readers that there would be a giveaway of some sort at the Munich shopping centre where he struck. Sixteen people, including several children, were injured in the attack and three were in critical condition.
