A massive manhunt for three gunmen was underway in Munich Friday night after a suspected terror attack on a city shopping mall left at least nine people dead and an unknown number injured.

Late Friday, authorities said they were investigating whether one of the victims was an attacker who had committed suicide.

Police spokesman Peter Beck told reporters, “there are shooters on the run who are dangerous.” He added that the gunmen were armed with rifles and that Islamist terrorism was not suspected as a motive.

Germany’s elite GSG9 anti-terror police, as well as federal police, were called in to help with the search. Munich’s transit system was shut down and police asked people to avoid public places. The U.S. Consulate in Munich echoed that warning, advising American citizens to “shelter in place”. Highways heading out of the city were closed and vehicle checkpoints were established.

“At the moment no culprit has been arrested,” Munich police said on social media. “The search is taking place at high speed.”

Earlier, police spokesman Marcus Martins told The Associated Press police were aware of media reports that a man killed himself as officers closed in, but said there was no confirmation of that.
