It was a Muslim terrorist!


no. The shooter appears to be German and not of foreign descent. Could be a Muslim convert but no reports of that yet.

Lol no just comments on twitter from conservatives. There are now reports that it was a neo-Nazi group.
CNN witness is reporting a shooter shouted "Allahu Ackbar"

Other sources report anti-immigrant shouts

So confusing!

I didn't realise you knew the shooter personally


No I didn't.


I actually waited until more information was available and went on Sky News. Eyewitnesses said that the shooter exclaimed that he was German and shouted "**** immigrants".

Police also rule out Islamic Terrorism.
Attacker was not Muslim. We can confirm that now. He may have been a Nazi

I've seen more sources stating anti-immigrant comments were shouted, plus considering today is the 5th anniversary of Ander Breivik shooting, it would seem to me that far-right groups might be the most probable culprits. Although we obviously cant rule out an Islamist attack.

Only CNN is reporting that, all other media saying witnesses did not hear anything of that sorts.

This isn't actually true. A bystander actually shouted "****ing foreigner" at the shooter himself.

Sky's Sam Kiley says a video has emerged of one of the gunmen filmed from a rooftop in Munich. In it the gunman says: "I'm a German" and he grew up on benefits. And he talks about some kind of treatment. It's not clear if he is talking about medical treatment or treatment that he is claiming to be the victim of.
Witnesses said that the terrorist was a white man who shouted "I'm German!" and "**** immigrants!" as he shot innocent by bystanders
A Munich police spokesman says there is no indication of Islamist terror.
This information has been out for a while. I have already posted this.

You have also seemed to delete your post stating "false". These sources back my claims so, True.

They haven't ruled it out, they have stated that currently there is no indication. Currently they don't even know how many people are involved (it appears there are three, but no one knows for sure) or who they are.*

I watched the video, and it seems pretty clear a guy on the balcony shouted it, to which the shooter replied that he is German and born there.
