Supporters of the Islamic State militant group celebrated on social media a shooting rampage in a shopping mall in the southern German city of Munich on Friday that killed and wounded many people. "Thank God, may God bring prosperity to our Islamic State men," read one tweet in Arabic on an account that regularly favours the radical Islamist movement. "The Islamic state is expanding in Europe," read an Arabic-language tweet on another account also known to support Islamic State. Munich police spokesman Thomas Baumann told German news agency dpa the attack started at a fast food restaurant in the mall shortly before 6 p.m. local time. Bayrischer Rundfunk reported that shops in the center of Munich had closed with customers inside though police said reports of shots fired at a location downtown had been a false alarm. Police responded in large numbers to the mall in the northern part of Munich, not far from the city's Olympic Stadium in the Moosach district of the Bavarian capital. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the train attack, but authorities have said the teen likely acted alone.

A witness who was live-streaming from outside the mall said: "(The gunman) ran into the underground station. Police are looking for him. I don't have a description of the shooter." Reuters reports that an employee inside the shopping centre told them over the phone that "many shots were fired". The city is on lockdown as transportation authorities in the city say they have halted service on multiple train, tram and bus lines following the shooting and police have warned people to stay at home.
