| Details of gunman's identity emerge | |
| Kate Connolly | Kate Connolly |
| The attacker has been identified by police so far only by his first name, ‘David’ and the initial S for his surname, but this is likely to be pseudonym. It is believed he lived with his parents in the Maxvorstadt district of the city. Police and forensic experts have been seen entering an apartment in the are and taking away belongings. | |
| Police say David S was not known to them. But they are working on the assumption that he is the same man seen on a video filmed on a mobile phone that has gone viral, showing a man on the roof of a car park, in an angry exchange with a resident from a nearby housing block. | |
| In the video, the 18-year-old is heard to say: “I am German”, while residents shout abuse at him, including the work ‘kanake’ which is a derogatory term for foreigner. He is believed to say in the video he was born in Germany, and comes from a ‘Hartz IV area’. He adds that he has been “undergoing treatment”. Hartz IV is the social security paid to long-termed unemployed people, introduced under the chancellorship of Gerhard Schröder about 12 years ago. | |
| Munich police have urged the public to upload to its website any other mobile phone videos taken at the scene of the crime, which could help them with their investigations. | |
