Gunman opens fire in German school

A gunman who has killed at least one person in a German shop has now opened fire in a school.

Police say one person, believed to be a teacher, has been seriously injured after being shot at the school in Bavaria.

Officers have surrounded the building in the town of Freising. It is unclear whether there are students inside the school.

The man started his shooting spree at a store in the town of Eching.

At least one person, and possibly a second, were killed, police spokesman Ernst Mast said.

The gunman then got in a car and drove to the nearby town of Freising, opening fire in the high school which specialises in business and economics.

Police have sealed off the area surrounding the building.

Media reports have described the man as a 20-year-old former employee of the interior design store in Eching.
