The moment of the attack by an armed man outside his consulate has been recorded in amateur video. The man who by his actions sounded an alarm in Munich seems to be arming and firing in the middle of the street. A little later at the point powerful police forces were rushing and the man fell dead. According to police, at 09:00 (local time) a man with a long gun arrived in front of the Documentation Center for Nazism and shot the police officers who were at the outpost in front of the building. Police officers returned the fire and fatally wounded the perpetrator, while a large police operation was under way very quickly, as Israel’s Consulate General is housed in the neighbouring building, which is also guarded. According to a police spokesman, five police officers were initially involved in the firefight, while there is currently no information on the identity and motivation of the perpetrator.
