Other reports say that at least six people have been killed.
The Bavarian Interior Ministry said it had received reports that three armed men had started firing indiscriminately near a McDonald’s eatery in the Olympia mall. But it has been unable to verify the number of gunmen involved.
Police officials called the attack “a rampage”.
There has been no confirmation of the number killed; the mall has been locked down and people evacuated but police have confirmed that no one has been apprehended.
Police told local Munich media that they were treating the shootings as a suspected terrorist attack.
They appealed through local media for people to stay off the streets, off the highways and stay at home.
The authorities shut down all public transportation, including the metro, in and out of the city.
There were unconfirmed reports that the perpetrator(s) had left the mall and are still at large.
