Two people have been killed in the southern German city of Munich after locals reported shots being fired at a construction site on Thursday morning, a police spokesman said.
Police in the Bavarian capital said the situation is "under control" and there is currently no danger to the public.
Police also assume that one of the people now dead fired the shots, spokesman Sven Mueller said.
"There is no danger for people there anymore," Mueller said, adding that he had no other details for the time being.
Germany has been on high alert since December 2016, when a Tunisian asylum seeker with militant links hijacked a truck, killed the driver and then ploughed it into a crowded market place in Berlin, killing 11 more people and injuring dozens.
