8 dead in Munich mall shootings

At least one gunman opened fire near a shopping mall in Munich just before 6 p.m. on Friday, killing eight people and wounding scores of others in an assault that the German police said they were treating as a suspected terrorist attack . The police said that they were searching for as many as three suspects armed with “long guns.” The manhunt shut down traffic and public transportation across Munich, Germany’s third-most-populous city and the capital of the state of Bavaria, plunging much of the normally bustling metropolis into a desolate and fearful state of lockdown/ New York Times .
