**Important update below.**
In Germany, another shooting has taken place, this time at a shopping mall. At least one person is confirmed dead with many more believed shot.
The Telegraph reports:
The shots were heard at a shopping centre in the Moosach district of Munich, Germany, according to reports, with a major police operation under way.
German media have reported there multiple deaths at the scene. Live footage from the scene shows multiple emergency services at the scene while members of the public flee the area.
“There is a major police operation under way in the shopping centre,” Munich police said on Twitter.
It is still unclear whether this is a terrorist attack.
Twitchy reports that this attack follows one that took place on a train just a few days ago in Germany.
