Several people have died after being shot and killed at a shopping mall in Germany. One shooter is still on the loose after opening fire inside of a McDonald’s.
UPDATE:
A police representative believes that this attack is apart of a terrorist attack. We now know that at least 5 people were killed. Authorities have warned people to stay at home as they have shut down public transportation.
ORIGINAL STORY
Police spokeswoman Claudia Küntzel says,
“There could be several dead and one or even several shooters are on the loose,”
The shooting took place around 5:50pm. There is currently no word as to whether or not the shooting has occurred in other locations and whether or not it has stopped. Officials are encouraging people to stay in their homes. Lynn Stein, who said she works at the Jack Wolfskin store in the mall, says the shooter was inside of the mall.
“I heard several shots. (I) was just going to buy something while my co-worker was still in the shop.
People started running. I went outside as well; more people (were) running outside. I think I heard more shots. Then it sounded like he went to the parking house next to the mall — several shots there.”
She says she eventually went back into the mall.
“I saw … somebody lying on the floor, presumably dead, I don’t know. Or badly hurt. And there’s a woman over them, crying.”
