A teen gunman who killed nine people and injured 27 others in Munich had no links to Islamic State, police have said.

In a news conference on Saturday morning, the attack was described as a "classic shooting rampage" and not terrorism.


Investigators said the gunman, who was born and raised in Munich, was armed with a 9mm Glock pistol and had 300 bullets in a backpack.

The authorities also revealed he had received psychiatric care and been treated for depression.

Prosecutors said he did not have a criminal record.

Seven of the victims were teenagers, police said.

Of the 27 hurt, 10 were seriously injured.

During the attack, police said they received more than 4,000 emergency calls.

It is understood the attacker later shot himself in the head, taking his own life.

His body was found on a side street near the mall, about two-and-a-half hours after the assault.
