Earlier, German police denied rumors connecting the perpetrator to terrorist organizations.
"The shooter was 18 years old, he was born and grew up in Munich. He was a school student, a search has been conducted in his apartment, in the room where he lived. The search exposed no links to Daesh," Munich police chief Hubertus Andrae told German media on Saturday.
At the same time, prosecutor Thomas Steinkraus-Koch said that the killer could have had mental problems and visited the doctor due to depression. The information, however, has not yet been confirmed.
