Police officer, others injured in Munich subway shooting
The Telegraph quoted German police as having confirmed that several people were injured in the shooting during a morning police check at the Unterfoehring subway station. The suspect was also injured and is in custody.
Witnesses said the suspect took a police officer's handgun and then shot her, also injuring others at the S-Bahn station in the northeastern suburb of the Bavarian city.
Police later said there had been "no political or religious motive" in the shooting, saying the attacker acted out of "personal" reasons.
"The sole male perpetrator was motivated by personal reasons. There is no political or religious background here," police spokesman Marcus da Gloria Martins told reporters.
Force spokesman Michael Riehlein has been quoted as saying that the area has been "secured" and that there was no danger to the wider public.
Munich police said in a tweet: "Several people were injured by shots. A female police officer was badly wounded."
