On 22 July 2016, a mass shooting classified as a right-wing extremist attack occurred in the vicinity of the Olympia shopping mall in the Moosach district of Munich, Germany. The perpetrator, 18-year-old Iranian-German David Sonboly, opened fire on teenagers with migrant background at a McDonald's restaurant before shooting at bystanders in the street outside and then in the mall itself. Nine people were killed – most of them with immigrant backgrounds – and 36 others were injured, four of them by gunfire. Sonboly, who had been influenced by far-right ideology, xenophobia, and racist beliefs, hid nearby for more than two hours and killed himself by a self-inflicted gunshot wound when confronted by police. Later investigations determined that the attack was politically motivated and driven by right-wing extremist views. Two reports by Bavaria's State Office of Criminal Investigation and another by the public prosecutor's office concluded the shooting was not political, saying Sonboly's main motive was "revenge" for bullying by others from immigrant backgrounds, and that mental illness, romantic rejection and obsession with other shooting rampages were also a factor.
