At least eight people were killed Friday when gunfire erupted in a busy shopping district in Munich, Germany.
Police said at least three attackers were on the loose. The city was placed under a virtual lockdown, with residents urged to stay home, restaurants and other business closing and public transit shutting down.
No group has claimed responsibility but police officials said it "looks like a terror attack."
Here's what we know so far:
• The shooting broke out at a McDonald's across from the Olympia shopping mall about 5:50 p.m. (11:50 a.m. ET), police spokeswoman Claudia Küntzel said. Gunfire also broke out inside the mall, which is adjacent to the site of the 1972 Olympics, witnesses said.
• On Facebook, police said gunfire was reported in several locations, and that witnesses report seeing three people with firearms.
• "The manhunt is underway at high speed," police said. "Because of the unclear situation we ask all people in the city area to stay at home or to look for protection in any nearby building. The operation of public transportation service has been stopped."
• A profanity-filled verbal exchange between a man who matches the description of the Munich shooter and a witness was posted on social media Friday. The exchange, recorded on two different camera phones, captured an intense conversation that ends in gunfire. The man who appears to be a shooter said insulting things about Turks, did not espouse jihadist ideology and spoke with a German accent.
• Police said that at least 10 people were injured and that special forces from Bavaria and surrounding federal states have been brought in as reinforcements.
• Nine bodies have been found in or around the Munich shopping center, police said at a press conference. Police are trying to verify whether one of these bodies could be one of the shooters, Munich police tweeted.
