UPDATE | 8 dead in Munich mall shooting; police hunt up to 3 suspects

MUNICH (AP) — Police warned people to stay indoors today as they hunted for whoever opened fire at a Munich shopping mall, killing eight people and wounding others in a rampage they described as suspected terrorism.

"At the moment no culprit has been arrested," police in the Bavarian capital said on social media. "The search is taking place at high speed."

Germany's elite GSG9 anti-terror police, as well as federal police, were called in to help.

Witnesses reported seeing three men with firearms near the Olympia Einkaufszentrum mall.

Police said eight people were killed and an unknown number of others were wounded. Munich police spokesman Marcus Martins said a ninth body had been found and police were "intensively examining" whether it might be one of the suspects.

The city sent a smartphone alert telling people to stay indoors and German rail company Deutsche Bahn stopped train traffic to Munich's main station.
