An 18-year-old German-Iranian man opened fire in a crowded Munich shopping mall and a nearby McDonald's Friday night, killing nine people and wounding 16 others before killing himself, the chief of police in the Bavarian capital said.

Munich police chief Hubertus Andrae told a news conference early Saturday that the suspect was a dual citizen from Munich and his motive was still "fully unclear."

He said it was too early to label the attack an act of terrorism; earlier police said they had no indication of Islamic extremism.

"The question of terrorism or a rampage is tied to motive, and we don't know the motive," Andrae said.
