(AP Photo)MUNICH: The 18-year-old gunman who opened fire at a crowded Munich shopping mall, killing nine people and wounding 16 others before killing himself, was obsessed with mass shootings, police said on Saturday.

"Documents were found about mass shootings," Munich's police chief Hubertus Andrae told reporters. "These are difficult hours for Munich," he said, adding that the city's citizens had shown great solidarity toward each other. Initial investigations suggest the Munich-born suspect had suffered from psychological problems and received treatment, but details were still being confirmed, said Munich prosecutor Thomas Steinkraus-Koch.
