There are no indications that a shooting in the southern German city of Munich which left two people dead had a terrorist background, a police spokesman said on Thursday.

Spokesman Sven Mueller said the two dead people were both men and one of them had fired the shots. There are no indications that anyone else was hurt, Mueller added.

Earlier the police tweeted, "We have the situation ... under control. There is currently no danger for people who are not involved."
