Seems to be in progress. Some reports of multiple deaths.
We are wondering what this attack will be called. Munich shooting was one suggestion.
But they had one during the Olympics.Well it would seem appropriate.
The main thing is you're safe - being locked in a pub is a bonus, not that I imagine theres much of a party atmosphere..Now people are wondering how to get home with the city now on shut down. Motorway is also closed.
6 dead apparently according to Katie.
The pub has chained the gate closed. Nobody can get out or in.
On the contrary. This lock in has gripped everyone's imagination.The main thing is you're safe - being locked in a pub is a bonus, not that I imagine theres much of a party atmosphere..
They are calling it 'Munich 3' now. First was the Olympic games siege(1972, 10 killed ), then the Oktoberfest bomb (1980, 13 died), and the now it's OEZ shootings. The OEZ is the name of the shopping centre where the shooting occurred today. Olympia Einkauf(shopping) Zentrum(centre). On the edge of the Olympic village site. I used to live nearby and know it well.

Ah. That name's been taken for the 1972 siege. That's why they always number them, since November the 9th any way.
do you think it could ever be stopped? don't think it could, how could you scrutinise everyone in big gatherings, I wish you could.I really don't think it matters what it's called. What is important is working out how to stop events like this.
That sounds like Obama's 2009 Cairo speech.I wish I had the answers. On a basic level the west needs to look out how it interacts with muslim countries. We (the west) use our military might against muslim nations (Iraq, Syria, Libya) and this can only lead to pain, and the radicals use this to justify attacks on us. I think a total re-think about how we interact with the muslim world would be a good starting point.
They interviewed the former head of interpol I think it was this morning he was saying a similar thing we have to understand the reasons why and change the way we interact with the Muslim worldI wish I had the answers.
