Updated - There are absolutely no indications that the German-Iranian gunman who opened fire on shoppers in Munich yesterday had links to Islamic State. The attack also had no link to refugees, Munich police chief Hubertus Andrae said today.
Andrae said the 18-year-old attacker's room had been searched, adding: "Based on the searches, there are no indications whatsoever that there is a connection to Islamic State."
Nine people were killed and 27 others, including children, were injured in the shooting spree.
Born and raised in the German city, the 18-year-old used an unlicensed 9mm pistol and had 300 rounds of ammunition. He was later found dead of a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head.
"This was a classic shooting rampage, not a terrorist attack," the Bavaria prosecutor said, adding that the shooter had been given psychiatric care in the past.
He had a fascination with shooting rampages.
Police investigator Robert Heimberger said that it appeared the gunman had hacked a Facebook account and lured people to the shopping centre with an offer of free food.
The post, sent from a young woman's account, urged people to come to the centre at 4 pm, saying: "I'll give you something if you want, but not too expensive."
Mr Heimberger said: "It appears it was prepared by the suspect and then sent out."
Germany's third largest city went into lockdown immediately after the shooting, with transport halted and highways sealed off.
Police said they were investigating a video in which the gunman is seen and heard exchanging racial slurs and profanities with another man.
Chancellor Angela Merkel is due to meet her chief of staff, Peter Altmaier, and Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere and a host of intelligence officials today to review the incident.
