    Lynn Stein, who said she works at the Jack Wolfskin store in the mall, told CNN that the shooter was inside the mall.

    "I heard several shots," Stein said. "(I) was just going to buy something while my co-worker was still in the shop.


    "People started running. I went outside as well; more people (were) running outside. I think I heard more shots. Then it sounded like he went to the parking house next to the mall -- several shots there."


    Stein said she then went back into the mall.

    "I saw ... somebody lying on the floor, presumably dead, I don't know. Or badly hurt. And there's a woman over them, crying."

    Eventually, she said, police "told everyone to clear off the area and go to the other side of the street."

    "And we just stayed there for a while until police told us to go further back and further back," she said.
    A string of recent terror attacks have put Europe on high alert.

    unich police are hunting for three gunmen who they believe have carried out attacks at three locations in the city.


    On Twitter, the local forces said shootings had taken place at Hanauer Straße, then the Riesstraße, and also at the Olympia shopping center.


    Lynn Stein, who works inside the Olympia centre, told CNN a woman told her "masked gunmen dressed in black" had been seen running through the centre.


    The interior ministry confirming at least three killed.


    Germany's Muencher Abendzeitung reported that the death toll was higher, with up to 15 people killed in the incident at the Olympia Einkaufszentrum shopping centre.


    Police told another paper, the Sueddeutsche Zeitung, that there were multiple deaths.


    "There is a major police operation under way in the shopping centre," Munich police said on Twitter, without elaborating.


    An employee inside the shopping centre told the Reuters news agency "many shots were fired".

    Video shows people fleeing from the scene, which has now been cordoned off, according to reports.

    Live footage from shows multiple emergency services at the scene.

    7:21pm"Masked gunmen in black"

    Lynn Stein, who worked in a shop inside the centre, tells CNN that a woman told her she'd seen masked gunmen, in black, running through the shopping centre.

    7:19pm Unconfirmed footage appears to show shooter open fire in Munich


    7:18pm Lynn Stein was inside the shopping centre at the time

    Lynn Stein, who works in a shop inside the centre, told CNN:
    I was in a neighbouring store when shots were fired.
    People started running. More shots were fired.
    People were screaming.
    Then I heard several shots at the parking house next to the mall. I went back inside the wall, to check on my co-workers.
    When I went there there was a couple of people coming in towards me, and I told them to leave as I continued towards my store.
    A man told me he saw a gunman.
    I ran outside, and police told me to leave. Which I did.
    This was about 15 minutes after it happened, and I was evacuated.




    7:15pm British witness Victor Wood, who lives in Munich, speaks to BBC

    I was leaving the shopping centre from the side entrance and as we were about to go into the U-bahn, we heard shooting.
    We couldn’t see where it was coming from - there was a building in between us.
    When I got out of the U-bahn a couple of minutes later we saw all the police cars and realised what had happened.
    The shopping centre is like a L-shape. It was quite busy - there were a lot of people in there.
    We didn’t hear screaming but we were leaving from the side exit so it was hard to see what was going on. But local media reports someone coming out of the McDonalds and shooting a hand gun.
    It took about four or five minutes for police to arrive I would say. We managed to get on one of the last trains before they closed the transport system.
    Before I came out to Germany, I had been in the air force, so I am used to the sound of gunshots, and it was definitely shooting – you don’t hear that kind of sound in the city.
    No one expects something like this to happen in their front garden.
    I think Munich is well equipped to handle it though. Police presence is fairly low key, police officers have weapons but you don’t see people walking around with machine guns, for example.”
