ZitatMUNICH, July 22 (Reuters) - Gunmen went on a shooting rampage in a shopping mall in the southern German city of Munich on Friday, killing and wounding many people, police said.
It was the third major act of violence against civilian targets to take place in Western Europe in eight days. Previous attacks in France and Germany were claimed by the Islamic State militant group.
Munich police said they suspected it was a terrorist attack.
Authorities were evacuating people from the Olympia mall but many others were hiding inside. Munich's main railway station was also being evacuated.
A Munich police spokeswoman said multiple people were killed or wounded. No suspects had been arrested yet, she said.
"We believe we are dealing with a shooting rampage," the spokeswoman said.
Bavarian broadcaster BR said six people were dead and many wounded in the shopping mall.
NTV television had reported the Bavarian Interior Ministry as saying three people were dead, but the ministry said later it would not confirm this.
More than one gunman was believed to be involved, the police spokeswoman said.
Just when I think Shepard Smith can't get any dumber he comes out and says this isn't an Islamic attack, he has "many" reports that the guy was wearing Nazi-like boots, therefore it's a right-wing attack.
However, CNN has been reporting that an eyewitness named "Lauretta" says she heard the gunman yell "Allahu Akbar" before he started shooting the children in the McDonald's.
Now channel-surfing, Media DESPERATELY trying to paint this as anything but another Islamic attack.
Shemp is a complete doofus. As soon as he comes on I change the channel. Why he did not get fired after that brouhaha with Jindal is simply beyond me. He must have some juicy videos involving Rupert, or Roger, or both.

Just like they do when a Christian goes berserk, right?
******* "Maybe God is trying to tell us something important- that now is not the time for a “nice Christian guy” or a “gentleman” or a typical Republican powder puff. Maybe now is the time for a natural born killer, a ruthless fighter, a warrior. Because right about now we need a miracle, or America is finished. Maybe the rules of gentleman don’t apply here. Maybe a gentleman and “all-around nice Christian” would lead us to slaughter." Wayne Allyn Root

Well that cinches it. There is no connection to Islamic terrorism and the shooters motive remains unknown.
Illegitimi non Carborundum
During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

There is so much attention being paid to MOTIVATION nowadays. It used to be assumed any gunman was DERANGED.
Now we have gunman who think killing innocents makes sense for various reasons, but today mostly we're hearing of gunman shouting "allahu akbar" while they inflict their pain on innocent, random citizens. Only shouting "Allahu Akbar" seems to express the joy of murdering these days.
