Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe 18-year-old gunman who killed nine people in a shooting spree in Munich on Friday had been planning his crime for 12 months, police say.
“He had been preparing [the shooting] for a year,” Bavarian police chief Robert Heimberger tells a news conference in the city.

Reports had emerged that the gunman deliberately lured young people to the mall with a fake claim of giveaways that he posted online via a hacked Facebook account.
