Up to 3 gunmen are on the loose after a shooting inside a McDonald’s at Munich’s Olympia shopping mall Friday, police spokeswoman Claudia Küntzel said.
“There could be several dead and one or even several shooters are on the loose,” Küntzel said.
The shooting at the McDonald’s happened around 5:50 p.m. (11:50 a.m. ET), she said.
It’s unclear whether shootings have occurred at other locations, and whether the gunfire has stopped.
Police have urged the public to stay indoors, public transportation has been shut down.
The US consulate strongly advised all to “shelter in place.”
