MUNICH (GERMANY) - The 18-year-old gunman who killed nine people in a shooting spree in Munich had been planning his crime for a year but chose his victims at random, officials said on Sunday. Chancellor Angela Merkel said Munich had suffered a "night of horror". Europe reacted in shock to the third attack on the continent in just over a week, after David Ali Sonboly went on a shooting spree at a shopping centre on Friday before turning the gun on himself. Chief prosecutor Thomas Steinkraus-Koch added that he did not specifically choose his victims. "It is not the case that he deliberately selected" the people who he shot, he said.
