The 18-year-old
German-Iranian man who opened fire in a crowded Munich shopping mall and a
nearby McDonald's, killing nine people and wounding 16 others before killing
himself, has been named in reports by German media as Ali David Sonboly.
According to
reports, Sonboly created a fake Facebook profile under the alias Selina Akim to
entice youngsters to the centre’s McDonald’s branch, before starting his
shooting spree at around 6.30pm on Friday.
During a press
conference on Saturday morning, Munich Police President Hubertus Andrae
confirmed the Police force were looking at Ali David Sonboly's Facebook page.
Police gave a
"cautious all clear" early on Saturday morning, more than seven hours
after the attack began, and brought much of the city to a standstill as all
public transit systems were shut down amid a massive manhunt. They said a body
found near the scene was that of the shooter and he appeared to have acted
alone.
