The teen gunman who killed nine people and himself in a rampage in Munich was "deranged", police say, linking his actions to Norwegian far-right mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik rather than Islamic State jihadists.
Europe reacted in shock to the third attack on the continent in just over a week, after a black-clad gunman went on a shooting spree at a shopping mall on Friday evening (local time).
Munich prosecutor Thomas Steinkraus-Koch said the 18-year-old German-Iranian — named as David Ali Sonboly — had suffered depression and reportedly undergone psychiatric treatment.
"There is absolutely no link to the Islamic State," Munich police chief Hubertus Andrae said.
He described the attack as a "classic act by a deranged person" and described an individual "obsessed" with mass shootings.
Mr Andrae added "the link is evident" with Breivik's massacre of 77 people, which took place exactly five years ago.
Most of the victims in Friday's attack were foreigners, including three Turkish nationals, three people from Kosovo and a Greek man.
Twenty-seven people were wounded in the attack, four with shooting injuries and three who are in a critical condition, police said.
Sonboly had 300 rounds of ammunition in a rucksack when he targeted the busy Olympia shopping mall, just minutes away from the flat he shared with his family, according to authorities.
