Thank you all for thinking of me!
We are safe.
We were home eating dinner when we heard the Police sirens. It's not uncommon, due to where we live, but there seemed a lot tonight, especially with no football!
We are not in the immediate area, but the Police have shut down the UBahn system, and told people to stay home or where ever they are until the situation is calmer. At this stage, there is still limited information. There are believed to be 3 shooters, though some early reports of multiple shooting sites have been denied. I can still hear a lot of emergency vehicles and helicopters.

About a dozen ambulances have just driven down my street. From the signs on them, they have been called in from outlying districts - we are near where one of the main freeways enters Munich, so it makes sense of that is the case.
Still no resolution to the situation.

I am headed to bed now, and am going to try to sleep. Hopefully, when I wake up, this nightmare will be over and my city will be returning to normal.
Thank you all again for your concern.

So sad that these acts are happening in other countries besides the USA. I know people in other countries have felt so much safer, but I guess evil has no jurisdiction. I'm glad you and your family are safe sueg . |

Glad Sueg is safe.
My 15 year old DD was there less than 2 weeks ago. Not in the mall but at Olympic Park nearby and Munich for several days. This shook her up quite a bit.
Scary stuff

Well, it is Saturday morning, and things are calm again. I've been in contact with family back home to reassure them, and I am feeling a bit better,though I didn't sleep very well.
As things stand:
10 dead, including the gunman. At least 16 injured, several critically.
It was a lone gunman, not several as reported last night. He was an 18YO German-Iranian, born here in Germany.
There was also only one shooting location, not many. It seems some people mistook armed riot police for attackers - a reminder for us all not to over-react, and not to believe everything being reported during these events.
Police allowed all public transport to be reopened just after midnight, and took down barriers at the shopping center. I imagine it will remain closed today, to allow for cleanup.
