The Munich shooter had been planning the attack on a mall for about a year but his victims were chosen randomly, Bavaria`s police chief Robert Heimberger said Sunday.
"The perpetrator had been engaged with his attack for about a year, had been planning it since the last summer," Heimberger told journalists at the press conference.
He added that despite that the shooter had been studying potential locations for the attack he did not choose specific victims.
The Munich shooter wrote his own "Manifesto" and did not copy the one Norwegian far-right mass murderer Anders Breivik wrote, Heimberger said.
"That is not true," Heimberger said answering the question if Breivik`s "Manifesto" had been discovered during the search at the gunman apartment.
On Friday, the 18-year-old German-Iranian man opened fire in a crowded Munich shopping mall and a nearby McDonald`s restaurant, killing nine people.
