Quote:
A German-Iranian teenager who shot dead nine people in Munich was a deranged lone gunman obsessed with mass killings who drew no inspiration from Islamist militancy, police said on Saturday.
The 18-year-old, born and raised locally, opened fire near a busy shopping mall on Friday evening, triggering a lockdown in the Bavarian state capital.
Seven of his victims were themselves teenagers, who police said he may have lured to their deaths via a hacked Facebook account on what was the fifth anniversary of twin attacks by Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik that killed 77 people.

Other sources confirm that the shooter had also used a picture of Breivik as his picture on WhatsApp, and police have made statements that he was fascinated by Anders Breivik and a 2009 school shooting in Germany.
I've also read from Finnish papers that the shooter considered it an honour to have the same birthday as Adolf Hitler and called himself an Aryan.
