Shooter 'hacked Facebook account to send out invitation'
Munich police investigator Robert Heimberger said it appears that the perpetrator hacked a Facebook account to invite people to come to the mall for a free giveaway.

The post, sent from a young woman's account, urged people to come to the mall at 4 pm, saying "I'll give you something if you want, but not too expensive," according to the Associated Press.

Heimberger said: "It appears it was prepared by the suspect and then sent out."
The woman shortly after reported that her account had been hacked.

Police: "No indications" attack was linked to IS
Munich police chief Hubertus Andra said the 18-year-old's room had been searched and "based on the searches, there are no indications whatsoever that there is a connection to Islamic State".

He also said the attack was not linked to refugees.

Mr Andrae also said initial investigations had not given any reason to believe there was more than one perpetrator and attacker had "no link whatsoever to the topic of refugees".

He also stressed there was no reason not to visit Munich or to cancel events for security reasons.

Gunman has received treatment for depression
The motive for the attack is not yet know but the gunman had been in psychiatric care and was treated for depression, police said.

Gunman was "obsessed with shooting rampages"
Police said documents about "frenzied attacks" had been discovered the gunman's room, including a book entitled "Rampage in Head: Why Students Kill."
