  • German police arrested a 16-year-old Afghan youth on Sunday, on suspicion of connections to the killing of nine people by an 18-year-old gunman in Munich.

  • The youth was under investigation for possibly having failed to report the plans of the gunman, who later shot himself, and may have played a role in a Facebook posting that invited people to the scene of the shooting, a police statement said.

  • Police earlier said the gunman was a deranged Iranian-German who was fixated with mass killings but not inspired by Islamist militancy.
