The 18-year-old gunman who opened fire and killed at least nine people at a Munich shopping centre has been named as Ali Sonboly.
Police, who initially thought they were looking for three attackers, say they found a man who had killed himself on a side street near Olympia shopping mall.
Last night, officers raided Sonboly's home and they are now
investigating a fake Facebook post which reportedly offered free food at the
fast food restaurant where he shot his first victims.

According to CNN, authorities said the killer was not known to police and his motives are unclear.
News of the attack broke on Friday evening and graphic video footage began circulating on social media as the horror of the events began to emerge.
A total of 21 people, including children, were taken to hospital as a result of the terrifying incident. Three are now fighting for their lives in critical conditions.
Our thoughts are with the people of Munich.
