Ambassador of India to Germany, Gurjit Singh told Sushma Swaraj that all Indians were safe and in case of any difficulty, they were asked to reach out to the consulate.

“Police think it was lone shooter who is dead. Situation seems to ease. All Indians remain vigilant. Do help others too,” the Ambassador said referring to the attack.

The attack took place on Friday night at Olympia-Einkaufszentrum shopping mall in the Moosach district of Munich. The 18-year-old Iranian origin attacker killed himself when he encountered police and was likely a lone shooter.
