Yesterday [Friday, July 22] Ali Sonly carried through with an attack which left nine dead and 27 injured. At the hands of this German-born teen in Munich, a massacre erupted. Police say the 18 year-old shooter had “absolutely no” ties to ISIS. The gunman killed himself at the scene, which then led to further investigation.
Police investigator Robert Heimberger said the terrorist portion of the investigation is being shut down. Munich police president Hubertus Andrae described the evening’s massacre as a “classic shooting rampage.” After searching the shooter’s parents’ apartment for evidence, they did find a handful of clues.
Heimberger said that the teen hacked a Facebook account, then sending out a message for people to come to the shopping mall for a free giveaway. Hacking a woman’s page, the message read “I’ll give you something if you want, but not too expensive.” It wasn’t long before the woman reported that her account was indeed hacked.
Holding 300 rounds, a 9mm Glock pistol was the shooter’s weapon of choice to kill 27 and injure nine, before killing himself. Articles about school shootings and a book titled “Why Pupils Shoot” was also found by police. Police say they believe the shooter was in therapy for mental health problems.
