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 manhunt shut down traffic and public transportation across Munich, Germany’s third-most-populous city and the capital of the state of Bavaria. Police said they had found the body of a ninth person near the mall and were investigating the possibility that he was an attacker.
A state of emergency was declared in the city, plunging much of the metropolis into a desolate and fearful state of lockdown. As the transit system was shut down, commuters held their hands up in the air as they walked past police officers.
