While the tension remains unresolved, the public transportation system has been locked down and all residents near the area have been advised to stay indoors while the police continues the search for the gunmen who are still at large at the moment. Helicopters have been deployed to aid in locating the shooters.

The police chief confirms that the information at their disposal are still "contradictory", thus pleading with the public to avoid public places in the nearest future. 

"For your own safety, avoid squares and streets: perpetrators are on the run. Train and bus transport routes suspended. Turn radio and TV on," the statement reads.

The reason behind the targeting of the shopping mall cannot be exaggerated following the traffic of humans that troop into and through the mall located in northern Munich and close to BMW factory. It has been described as the biggest shopping centre in Munich and a major transit hub.

The attack on Munich had been forewarned by both German and French authorities who had warned that ISIS is planning massive attacks in Europe following its lose at battlefields in Irag and Syria where it (ISIS) is locked in battle with a US-led coalition.
