Naim Zabergja, whose son Dijamant was killed in the shooting, wrote on Facebook: “With great sadness I want to inform you that my son Dijamant Zabergja, 21, was killed yesterday in Munich.”

A second victim was named by her brother on Facebook as Armela Segashi, who he said died along with a third, Subina Sulaj.

Three Kosovans were among the nine people killed in a shooting rampage by a German-Iranian gunman at a busy Munich shopping centre, the foreign ministry said overnight.

“Three citizens of Kosovo are among the victims of the shooting in Munich. Our consulate in Munich has established with the German police and the families that the three young (ethnic) Albanians (from Kosovo) lost their lives during the attack,” the ministry said in a statement.

The Turkish Foreign Minister confirmed three Turks, named as Sevda Dag, Can Leyla and Selcuk Kilic were also among the dead.

In an interview with local television station NTV this morning, Mevlut Cavusoglu identified the Turkish victims of the attack as two teenagers and a woman.

One Greek person was also one of those killed the foreign ministry confirmed this afternoon.

All of the people killed were Munich residents, including seven teenagers, authorities said.

This morning Germans are waking up to discover the true horror of what happened, with many — including strangers — leaving tributes to those killed.

According to BILD’s Oliver Grothmann, three of the gunman’s victims were aged 14, two were 15, one 17, one 19, one 20, and one 45.

Early reports suggest three of his victims were female and seven were male.

The mayor of Munich has declared a day of mourning for the victims of Friday’s shooting in the Bavarian capital.

Dieter Reiter says the city is “shocked and aghast at this terrible act.”

In a statement Saturday on Facebook, Reiter expressed his condolences to the victims, their family and friends, and thanked security forces for their work.

Reiter said Saturday would be “a day of mourning, not of celebration” and that all public festivals in the city over the weekend had been cancelled.

“These are difficult hours for Munich,” he said, adding that the city’s citizens had shown great solidarity toward each other. “Our city stands united.”

It is believed the 18-year-old German-Iranian responsible hacked a girl’s Facebook profile to entice youngsters to the centre’s McDonald’s branch for free food, before starting his shooting spree at around 6.30pm.

The posting, sent from a young woman’s account, urged people to come to the mall at 4pm, saying: “I’ll give you something if you want, but not too expensive.”

The teen shot dead nine people before turning the gun on himself.

He has been named on Facebook as Ali Sonboly, but some German media outlets were reporting his name as David S.

Police found what is thought to be Sonboly’s body wearing a red backpack in an alley around a kilometre from the Olympia Einkaufszentrum shopping complex.

A number of the attacker’s victims are adolescents — sparking fears it was a revenge attack for teens who tormented him.

During a press conference this morning, Munich Police President Hubertus Andrae confirmed the force were probing a Facebook page.

Munich police chief Hubertus Andrae has said “no evidence” of links to the Islamic State terrorist group has been found in the home and room of the Munich shooting suspect.

Andrae also told a news conference this morning that the crime and the perpetrator had “absolutely no” link to the issue of refugees.

Twenty-seven people were injured in the killings, 16 of whom were still being treated in hospital.

Police said 10 of those injured in the mass-shooting are currently in a critical condition, including a 13-year-old boy.

Chancellor Angela Merkel said that the country’s security services will “do everything possible to protect the security and freedom of all people in Germany” in the wake of two attacks in less than a week.

Merkel told reporters in Berlin on Saturday that an attack on a train on Monday night and Friday night’s deadly rampage in Munich had involved “places where any of us could have been” and have left Germans wondering “where is safe?”

Combined with the deadly attack in the French city of Nice, she said people are growing increasingly concerned.

“Such an evening and such a night is difficult to bear,” she said of the Munich attack. “And it’s even more difficult to bear because we have had so much terrible news in so few days.”

French President Francois Hollande has expressed his condolences and support for Germany after the Munich attack, calling it an “ignoble act aimed at spreading horror in Germany. [Germany] will stand up to this. It can count on France’s friendship and co-operation.”

The Spanish government has also condemned the shooting in Munich that has left nine dead, calling the attack a “senseless, cowardly and criminal act.”

It said in a statement that it “transmits all its esteem and concern” for those “who have suffered from this senseless, cowardly and criminal act that has taken numerous lives and injured several persons.”
