German police say a gunman who went on a shooting rampage at a busy mall in Munich likely acted alone, and then committed suicide after killing nine people in cold blood.

The third attack on civilians in Europe in barely a week saw panicked shoppers fleeing the Olympia (OEZ) mall as elite police launched a massive operation to track down what had initially been thought to be up to three assailants.

“We found a man who killed himself. We assume that he was the only shooter,” police said on Twitter.

Munich police chief Hubertus Andrae said the suspect was an 18-year-old German-Iranian from Munich. His motive was unclear. . . .

[A] video appeared to show a gunman on the roof of a parking garage as he exchanged insults with people who referred to him a foreigner.

“I’m German, I was born here,” the gunman is heard to reply.
