#8 Breitbart:

A shooting that led to the death of the gunman saw the perpetrator roam and fire a rifle for ten minutes, with police initially unsure whether the rifle was a prop or the real thing.

Bullets struck the Israeli consulate general in Munich, Germany this week in a shooting which ended, as reported at the time, with the gunman being shot dead by responding police officers. The consulate was closed on Thursday morning during the shooting because its staff were attending a memorial for the 1972 Munich Olympics Massacre terror attack, where Palestinian terrorists killed 11 Israelis, the timing leading police to suspect the Islamist-sympathising perpetrator may have struck because of that anniversary.

The suspect, 18-year-old Emrah I., is said to have arrived with a Swiss military surplus “repeating rifle” with bayonet — possibly the K31 carbine of 1933 — on Thursday morning and was quickly spotted by police officers. Yet, reports Die Welt, those police were initially unsure whether the out-of-time rifle was real or a prop and lost sight of the Austrian citizen, Bosnian-heritage migrant.

Emrah I. fired first at the National Socialism Documentation Centre (‘NS-Dokumentationszentrum München’), a new museum and educational centre built on the site of the former ‘Brown House’ national headquarters of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Party, which itself was destroyed in Second World War bombing. According to German media, he shot at the building twice. Footage allegedly of the incident shared on German social media shows a gunman being visibly thrown back by the recoil from his rifle.

The migrant gunman then attempted to climb the outer wall of the Israeli consulate general and found he was unable to, and so he opened fire on the building itself. This was also two shots, one of which struck a window. Five other rounds were let off by the teen, including when he ran into a pair of police officers who ordered him to surrender the rifle, when he fired on the lawmen.

Even after now-deceased suspect Emrah I. was gunned down by officers, he still attempted to attack the police from a prone position. In all, he was on the move and firing for around ten minutes, it is stated.

That the perpetrator is reported to have been born to an otherwise well-integrated, stable, middle-class family of migrants in neighbouring Austria also underlines the continued risk European nations face from managing diverse populations, where some second and third generation migrants can become vulnerable to online radicalisation.

#9 Some more info from the Austrian press

Shortly before he was able to fire the shots in Munich, the Islamist terrorist escaped from the police.

Just 15 minutes before the attack, the young Austrian with Bosnian roots caught the attention of a police patrol as he was getting out of his Renault Capture. Although the officers noticed that something was wrong, they decided to continue driving for the time being. That was devastating.

After that, the horrific act in Munich occurred. The 18-year-old Emrah I., with Bosnian roots, fired nine to ten shots after police officers spotted him near the Nazi Documentation Center and the Israeli Consulate, according to “Bild.” The officers returned fire. The attacker was shot and killed. Investigators believe the attack was an attempted terrorist attack by an Islamist.

Emrah lived with his younger brother and his parents in a single-family home development in Neumarkt am Wallersee near Salzburg (population 6,600). According to the “Salzburger Nachrichten,” the house where the shooter lived was in a “well-to-do neighborhood.” Accordingly, the family, which has Bosnian roots, is fully integrated in the community.

Emrah I. first attracted attention at school in February 2023 when he threatened a fellow student, then attacked and injured him. During a search of his room, police found propaganda material from the terrorist organization IS on his cell phone.

According to “Bild”, Emrah I. had played three video games with tactical shooting exercises on the Internet. In the background of the games, the flag of the terrorist group Al-Nusra Front was displayed. Emrah I. was fascinated by weapons, bombs, and killing sprees.
