Merkel in mourning

ANGELA MERKEL has said her country is in “deep and profound mourning” following the carnage in Munich.

The German Chancellor also pledged to “find out the background” of what happened.

She added: “What lies behind the people of Munich is a night of horror.

“We are still shocked by the pictures and reports of the witnesses.

“Nine people who were going shopping on the Friday evening or wanted something to eat, they are now dead – it seems hit and killed by the bullets of one single perpetrator.”
