Germany: Munich shooter fired nine shots in 'terror attack' DW 09/06/2024
Briefly

"The man, who has since died of his injuries, had first fired two shots at the NS-Dokumentationszentrum, hitting the building's glass facade and main entrance. He then fired two more shots at the neighboring Israeli consulate, hitting two glass windows, and attempted to gain access to the premises by climbing onto a parked car and over a fence, which he didn't manage."
"Given that the incident took place on the anniversary of the massacre of 11 Israeli athletes and coaches by Palestinian militants at the Munich Olympics in 1972, German investigators are not ruling out an Islamist and antisemitic motive."
"Austrian authorities have said that the perpetrator, who is reported to have Balkan roots and who police say acted alone, was known to have been radicalized."
"Prosecutors are investigating a 'terrorist attack related to the consulate of the State of Israel.' Police chief Christian Huber highlighted the significance of the perpetrator's motivations and background."
