German police are engaged in a huge anti-terror manhunt in the city of Munich after nine people died in a shopping mall shooting.
Police are investigating whether one of the bodies is that of a perpetrator.
The attackers were earlier reported still on the run. Witnesses said they had seen three with guns. Police urged people to avoid public places.
The attack was at the Olympia mall in the north-western Moosach district. Public transport has been suspended.
Police are now describing it as "an acute terror situation". They say the first reports of a shooting in Hanauer Street came in just before 18:00 (16:00 GMT).
The Bavarian capital's central railway station has been evacuated.
People stranded by the emergency and unable to get home are being offered shelter by locals. The initiative was launched with the Twitter hashtag #Offenetür (open door).
