Munich police probe fake Facebook ad for free food at McDonald’s where gunman began spree that left 9 dead
The 18-year-old Iranian shooter began his attack in a McDonald's before continuing his murderous rampage into a crowded shopping mall, injuring 21 and killing nine
A GUNMAN who slaughtered four adults and five children in a handgun massacre lured his victims to McDonald’s with a fake Facebook account of a pretty girl offering free food, it is feared.
The 18-year-old German-Iranian, named as Ali David Sonboly, used a profile under the alias Selina Akim to entice youngsters to the fast food branch, before starting his shooting spree at around 6.30pm in Munich last night.
The teen shot dead nine people – nearly all of whom were aged between 14 and 21 – before turning the gun on himself.
He has been named by German media outlets as Ali David Sonboly.
His motive remains unclear but police are probing a video taken of the attack, where the gunman complains of being “bullied for seven years”.
Many of the attacker’s victims are adolescents, with a number of children injured – sparking fears it was a revenge attack for teens who tormented him.
A status written by ‘Selina Akim’ a few hours before the shooting took place read: “Come today at 4pm to OEZ (The McDonald’s branch the attack happened at) little chickies! I can buy you something if you want, but nothing too expensive.”
The woman’s account was set up on May 11 – two months before last night’s shooting spree.
Police confirmed the Facebook ad luring teens to the McDonald’s is “one part of the comprehensive investigation we are conducting”.
Footage taken at the scene shows the attacker shouting about “f***ing foreigners” and f***ing Turks”.
He is seen screaming “I’m German” and “I was born here” as he stands armed in a car park.
Chillingly the attack came on the five-year anniversary of far-right monster Anders Breivik murdering 77 people, mostly teenagers, in Norway.
