Hunt for gunmen after Munich shooting spree kills eight

Berlin. Elite German police were hunting for gunmen who went on a shooting rampage in a busy Munich shopping centre on Friday, killing eight people in a suspected terror attack.

The southern city was in lockdown after the shootings, which saw panicked shoppers fleeing the Olympia mall as armed anti-terror police roamed the streets in search of the assailants.

A video posted on social media appeared to show a man dressed in black walking away from a McDonald's restaurant while firing repeatedly on people as they fled. (AFP)
