Shots have been fired in a Munich shopping centre and a major police operation is under way, German media is reporting.
Reuters quoted Muencher Abendzeitung newspaper as saying that about 15 people have died in the shooting, while German television NTV says possibly 10 dead.
Reports say the area round the shopping centre in the district of Moosach has been sealed off, but details of the incident are sketchy, said the BBC.
The security forces have been on alert after a migrant stabbed five people on a train in Bavaria on Monday.
The authorities had warned of the danger of further attacks.
CNN, however, reported that the shooting is over and police is asking people to avoid the area.
