Shooting in Munich
慕尼黑枪击案

TRANSCRIPT
Hello, I am Jerry Smith with the BBC news.
The German interior minister Thomas de Maizière has visited the scene of Friday shooting in the city of Munich where gunmen killed nine people. Police said the 18 year old attacker was obsessed by mass killers, including the Norwegian white supremacist Anders Behring Breivik. Richard Galpin reports from Munich.
The gunman named as David Ali Somballi lived with his parents and brother in a modern apartment block in a busy northern district of Munich. This afternoon the entrance to his apartment block was surrounded by dozens of journalists and many neighbors were reluctant to speak. But a teenage boy called Najib told me he knew Ali Somballi because he was a friend of his brother. Najib went on to say that Somballi had left school last year and claimed he had seen him spending a lot of time since then playing violent video games.
