10:12Now PlayingInvestigators in Munich believe the incident was likely an attempted terrorist attack. Police shot and killed a man who had fired on them with a rifle near the Israeli Consulate and a museum on the Nazi-era in the city.
Police and prosecutors said on Thursday afternoon that they were working on the assumption of an attempted terrorist attack near the Israeli Consulate in Munch earlier that morning.
"Currently at least we are working on the assumption of an attempted terrorist attack, also in connection with the Consulate General of Israel, although the focal point of the running investigations is the motivation of the suspect," Munich's police and public prosecutors' office said in a joint statment.
Bavaria's specialist counterterrorist unit had taken the lead in the investigations, they said.
Austrian authorities confirmed that the attacker was an Austrian citizen who had previously been investigated over religious radicalization.
