    Hope there aren't many casualties. :( Very sad about this. No reports of deaths yet, let's hope it stays that way.

    German brehs - want to check in and let us know you're all good? Can't remember if you guys actually live in Munich or not...

    ATW, good to know. :)

    I live in the UK and travel around Europe a fair bit for work (including the big cities), so this does make me a little nervous - I know the chances are very very slim, but still... guess we don't know anything about the shooter yet though.

    2 attacks in Germany in less than a week.

    First the train, and now this.

    Is this the elusive Tea Party terrorists, finally making an appearance?

    Anyone?

    Thoughts and prayers to the people of Munich. I hope some of these numbers are incorrect and I hope there is a very small loss of life.

    I love that city and have close friends there.

    But all of these recent troubles, including the bizarre axe attack, play into the right leaning narrative of isolation, clearly. Munich has a kind of tragic history in that regard.

    Islam is not awful.....

    There are idiots everywhere in every religion and in every culture...

    Right now they don't even know if this was ISIS and I wouldn't be surprise if half the things that are blamed on ISIS are true... But ISIS is not going to turn down the publicity...

    Europe is being overtaken by Isis. We're lucky to have an ocean in between.

    Munich police are calling it a "shooting rampage", according to Reuters.
