Victims of Friday's deadly shooting in Munich were all residents
of the city and the region but most were from immigrant
families.
Of the dead, three were Turkish, according to the Turkish
foreign minister at a news conference. Three were Kosovars,
according to Twitter messages from that country's foreign minister.
And one was Greek, according to a statement from the Greek foreign
ministry.
Hungary's foreign minister said a Hungarian-German born in 2001
had been killed in the attack, as well.
Police said nine people, aged between 14 and 45, died in the
attack, including seven teens.
Dijamant Zabergja, a 21-year-old whose family came from Kosovo,
was with a friend near the McDonald's restaurant where the shooting
began, his father said in a video interview.
"The friend called me. He said they were buying a drink and
wanted to sit outside," the father told the Daily Mail in a video
interview. "The attacker was two meters away. He opened fire, the
friend fled...and my son...was shot and killed. I'm still dreaming.
I don't believe it yet."
NOTE TO READERS: The identities of two girls believed to have
been killed in the attack have been removed pending further
reporting.
