Description

On 22 July 2016, there was a mass shooting in the vicinity of the Olympia shopping mall in the Moosach district of Munich, Germany. An 18-year-old Iranian-German, David Ali Sonboly, opened fire on fellow teenagers at a McDonald's restaurant before shooting at bystanders in the street outside and then in the mall itself. Nine people were killed and 36 others were injured, four of them by gunfire. Sonboly then hid nearby for more than two hours, and killed himself with a self-inflicted gunshot wound when he was stopped by police.

Two reports by the Barvarian State Office of Criminal Investigation and Public prosecutor's office concluded that the shooting was not political, saying Sonboly's main motive was "revenge" for bullying, and that mental illness, romantic rejection and obsession with other shooting rampages were also a factor. Germany's security agency also described him as a "psychologically ill avenger". An independent report by three political scientists said Sonboly may also have been driven by xenophobia or far-right ideology. Police later opened an investigation into his contact with the perpetrator of the Aztec High School shooting.
