Police in Munich identified the suspect in a shooting in which nine people died as an 18-year-old German-Iranian man who killed himself after a siege lasting several hours.
The alleged perpetrator, whose body was found a short distance from the scene, was most likely acting alone, Hubertus Andrae, the head of the city’s police department, said at a press conference. He ruled out accomplices after earlier reports suggested several shooters were on the loose. Police have not yet established a motive.
