The Bavarian police announced today that the attacker who carried out a deadly attack in Munich two days ago and killed nine people had been planning this act for a year.
They announced this after examining the material they found in his home, reports Reuters.
The attacker, a German of Iranian origin, bought the gun illegally over the Internet, investigators said.
Meanwhile, the prosecution also announced that the victims of the attack did not go to the same school as the 18-year-old attacker, and that he did not choose his victims but shot randomly.
The spokesman for the prosecutor's office in Munich, Thomas Steinkraus-Koch, said that the attacker was undergoing psychiatric treatment last year because he suffered from depression and was afraid of contact with other people.
"The 2015-year-old, identified only as David S, was hospitalized for two months in XNUMX, after which he was treated outside the hospital," Steinkraus-Koh said, AP reports.
The spokesman of the prosecutor's office added that there is still no evidence of any political motives for the commission of the crime.
Meanwhile, Bavarian investigator Robert Heiberger said the gunman had visited the site of an earlier shooting at a school in the German town of Winenden and photographed the location.
He also stated that David S. was an avid fan of first-person shooter video games, including Counter Strike - source.
