Because i just wanted to take said my family and my parents. Eventually i heard the Police Arrive they wanted to know if someone was there they secured the area i yelled out that i was then i held up my arms and they briefly search me and. As a concept a lot about the attackers nationality because he was wearing a mosque but there were some gaps in it and im guessing it was a white guy based on that. Bus and vice of a but im really not so sure because i was in a state of shock at the time. But i can say that he was very determined to get into this particular combat shop. In these and. Everything happened so quickly in the 1st few seconds after he opened fire and everyone ran away right after that it seems as if i dont remember how long i was hiding in the toilet it probably wasnt longer than 10 minutes. But it felt a lot longer. I says to that he said. And terrifying account there and we know that this is obviously ongoing so we dont want to speculate too much but have we heard from officials from the has the government come out and said anything yes they have indeed and in fact spokesman stephens i would publish not long ago on twitter the 1st reaction from the federal government from under merkel i think we do have the tweets we might be able to show it but he basically spoke of terrible news he said that they hoped the police can arrest those involved and that no one else is in is in danger and he stressed that it is important to follow Police Advice so that nobody else is harmed that was the 1st reaction from the German Federal government again a very guarded reaction which is not unusual in these cases also federal authorities try and be very careful when they react until they can no more information that comes from authorities on the ground from authorities that have been gathering all the information and putting them together to try and understand who was behind this and why this occurred of course a very understandable there have been reports of that. One attacker at least old or attackers fling the same and in the direction of munich a few skinny this comes from an official in the town of landsberg so where one of the incidents took place that is not far away from from hala so the mayor of london said that 2 people suspected of carrying out the attack had actually hijacked a car and were no motorway that leads to munich that is the only information that we have on this particular case but very probably authorities are now trying to follow that lead to another to detain whoever was involved in this case but we have no way of knowing at this time whether the landsburg attack and the whole attack are connected or just coincidental that will be one of the key questions that authorities will have to to piece that they will have to resolve again it follows a pattern of similar cases and then they try and put all these pieces together to try and make sure they can understand one picture who was behind it and what exactly happened. Thomas bar thank you very much well be speaking to throughout the day. Meanwhile reactions have been coming in from social media with german chancellor Angela MerkelSpokes Person sit beside it tweeting as we just heard on the terrible news from her we grieve the 2 murdered people we hope that Security Forces can catch the perpetrator or perpetrators quickly it is important to follow Police Advice so that nobody else is harmed for more on this im joined by our turkey correspondent yulia han in istanbul yulia can you hear me yeah i can hear you you know what do we know. Well the operation has officially started that was Just Announced a few minutes ago by president and on the turkish president himself he tweeted the operation has started and he says this is to destroy and ill quote him here a peace accord or and bring peace to to destroy sorry of terror kori door and bring peace to the region prison edwin off role is the commander in chief of the Turkish Armed forces so it was expected that it would be him to officially announce the beginning of this offensive there are also reports that turkish warplanes have started carrying out air strikes in the north and syria this has also been confirmed by turkish officials now so so this offensive has officially soffit now this is the latest here from turkey so its very early days in this offensive things halles on are down very scarce sort of fog but how it has the the lead up to this offensive being looked at in turkey however have the media there been covering it. Well let me let me add one more detail actually because thats also coming in the kurdish side of the kurdish fighters then within syria also reporting airstrikes and theyre saying as one quote that theres a huge panic among people so the situation there must be right now very messy and very complicated aid organizations have been warning about up to 200000 people that could be displaced by a Turkish Military assault immediately displays and the kurdish fighters there had also said that they want to fight the turkish assault until the very end these awful fighter has a trained and equipped by the u. S. Experience fighters that have battled the socalled Islamic State so. They said they are not going to give up that territory without a fight so this is essentially not only an operation but a war thats coming up now and the situation is very complicated and further details are soon going to emerge and what does this mean for the security situation in the region you know the fight against ayers has been for largely or at least in large part by the kurds what does that mean for the security situation on the border the. Security here is the main argument of the turkish government they have a saying the y p d fighters in the north in syria allied with the p k k here in turkey that has waged a decades long insurgency so they are saying these fighters are National Security threat so we have to move we have to have this operation to get rid of the Security Threat but of course they all analysts are saying this operation is very risky the cas themselves were the ones who have joined the American Forces in the battle against isis and who have taken the responsibility of you know taking care of the ices threat there are isis prisoners in that area and donald trump and the turkish president have agreed on turkey now taking over this responsibility at the same time turkey says now europe has to take back foreign isis fighters so the whole isis topic it seems has no clear solution at the moment so this makes the whole situation very very difficult what about the other big players in the region iran russia has there been any reaction sort of fall from the u. S. Well yes there has been a direct reaction for example from the Syrian Regime and they said they would you know fight back in case of any aggression from the turkish side they would use all legitimate means that was a quote here from the Syrian Foreign Ministry the russians have. Ive been kind of cautious openly addressing this issue but the reign of the iranian president who is an ally of Bashar Al Assad and an important player has said that he has urged turkey not to go ahead with this operation so im sure there is some kind of last minute diplomacy still going on that the turks now have created facts by starting this offensive. Syria hama in istanbul thank you very much. Now in following breaking news for you out of hala a city in eastern germany at least 2 people have been killed in a shooting and police have detained one person a local newspaper the middle.
