An understandably distressed mother has now spoken out about the moment her eight-year-old son saw the Munich shooter loading his gun in a McDonald's toilet… before targeting children and opening fire on them.
The woman, named by CNN as Lauretta, said she was with her child was in a bathroom when the killer struck.
"My son saw in the toilet the man loading his gun. It was a pistol.
"That's where he loaded his weapon.
"Boom, boom, boom, I heard.
"He's killing the children. They were sitting to eat. They can't run."
She added that she heard the gunman say: "Allahu Akbar" meaning 'God is great'.
Mail Online has named 18-year-old ‘loner’ Ali Sonboly as the perpetrator who killed at least ten people in the attack.
The Iranian-German teenager – who complained that he had been bullied for seven years – “targeted innocent children and then turned his gun on himself following the massacre,” the website additionally reports.
Shockingly, Police are investigating claims that Sonboly lured his young victims to their deaths with a promise of free McDonald's food.
A fake Facebook page reportedly told youngsters to gather at the restaurant yesterday afternoon for the special offer.
Munich Police President Hubertus Andrae has confirmed that a number of adolescents were among the dead and that several children were injured.
Armed and armoured cops are still on the streets around the Olympia-Einkaufszentrum shopping mall in the centre of the German city.
ISIS-related social media accounts have been sharing reports of the attack, but reports in German newspaper Bild suggests right-wing extremists are responsible.
The shopping centre is next to the Munich Olympic stadium, where the Palestinian militant group Black September took 11 Israeli athletes hostage and eventually killed them during the 1972 Olympic Games.
The attack took place a week after a 17-year-old asylum-seeker wounded passengers on a German train in an axe rampage claimed by Islamic State.
