Details released on Saturday regarding the victims of the Munich shooting indicate that seven of the deceased were teenagers aged between 13 and 19 years, and of foreign descent. Munich police announced on Saturday that among the nine individuals killed in the shooting incident, there were two 13-year-olds, three 14-year-olds, one 17-year-old, and one 19-year-old. The other two fatalities were reported to be 20 and 45 years old. Additionally, according to police reports, 27 individuals were injured in the incident, with the condition of 10 of them, including a 13-year-old, being critical. Furthermore, officials from Turkey, Greece, and Kosovo have stated that the seven deceased were nationals of these countries, and apart from three individuals of Turkish descent and three of Kosovo descent, a Greek national reportedly has roots in the Muslim minority of Greece. Both Munich police and the German Interior Minister stated that it appears the 18-year-old assailant, Ali Sanabli, of Iranian descent, invited others to the shopping center where the shooting took place by hacking into the account of a person named Selena Akim, asking them to come at 4 PM on Friday. The police described the assailant as having a history of theft and assault in 2010 and 2012, but no registered criminal record. They also mentioned that Ali Sanabli was undergoing psychological treatment. The German Interior Minister noted that Ali Sanabli was not known to the country’s security services, and no links to international terrorism were found. Meanwhile, German police officials reported finding 'significant amounts of books and articles about mass killings' in the assailant's home, indicating a strong focus and interest in the topic of genocide. Iran, through its Foreign Ministry spokesperson, condemned the incident and expressed condolences to the German people and government. In this context, the Iranian assailant in Munich 'has no connection to ISIS or the refugee issue.'
