A shooting at a popular shopping center Friday evening in Munich, Germany, killed at least six people, injured several others, and brought the city to a standstill as police hunted for three attackers with long guns.
"This is a terror situation," Munich police spokesman Marcus Da Gloria Martin said in a press conference.
Police confirmed to NBC News that they were searching across the city for three suspects.
"At the moment, we don't know where the perpetrators are. Take care and avoid public places," Munich police tweeted.
According to a police spokesperson, the shooting started at a McDonald's attached to the Olympia Einkaufszentrum shopping center before the shooters made their way into the mall. The spokesperson said it wasn't clear whether the suspects were still in or near the mall or if they had gone elsewhere.

Tweeting in German for locals and English and French for tourists, Munich police pleaded, "Please avoid public areas."
All Munich public transportation — subway, bus, and tram — was shut down after the shooting, according to Munich Transport Corporation MVG.

A major police operation, which included German special forces, was underway at the mall.
Munich police said there were "unconfirmed reports" of more violence elsewhere in Munich, but said the "situation is unclear."

Thamina Stoll, a Duke University student from Munich, was heading to the shopping center with her family when she saw people flee.
"People were running and telling us not to go to the shopping mall. They were in shock. They weren't able to talk anymore," Stoll told NBC News.

The shooting is the second attack in Germany's Bavaria region this week. On Monday, a 17-year-old Afghan injured four people with an ax on a German train near Wuerzburg-Heidingsfeld before he was shot dead.
In May, a man with a knife killed one person and wounded at least three others at a train station in Mainz, near Munich.
It wasn't immediately clear whether the mall shooting was tied to terrorism, but it put other cities on alert.

The New York Police Department's counterterrorism unit tweeted that it was "monitoring events unfolding in Munich." And the United Kingdom's Foreign Ministry urged Britons to "avoid this location and follow the advice of local authorities" on its travel advisories page.
The U.S. Consulate in Munich tweeted, "Closely follow police instructions and shelter in place." The U.S. State Department urged Americans in Munich to contact loved ones. Starwood Hotels locked down its six hotels in Munich, and increased security at all of its properties in Germany, the company said.
President Obama said Friday that "our hearts go out to those" injured or killed in the shooting.
"It's still an active situation and Germany is one of our closest allies, so we are going to pledge all the support they may need in dealing with these circumstances," he said.

Attempt' at Coup in Turkey, Prime Minister Says



 Τurkey's prime minister says a group within Turkey's military has engaged in what appeared to be an attempted coup.
The Associated Press reported that Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said a group in the military engaged in an attempted coup.
Binali Yildirim told NTV television: "it is correct that there was an attempt" when asked if there was a coup.

Yildirim didn't provide details, but said Turkey would never allow any "initiative that would interrupt democracy."
"We will fight with these anti-democratic and illegal actions," Yildirim said later on A Haber TV.
The U.S. State Department confirmed reports of gunshots and a "possible attempted uprising" in Turkey. If said there were reports social media is blocked in the country, and urged Americans to use email, phone calls and text messages to call loved ones.

Turkish television showed military tanks at Ataturk Airport in Istanbul. The newspaper Hurriyet reported the airport is closed. Earlier, military jets were reportedly head flying low over the capital, Ankara.
Istanbul's Bosphorus Bridge and Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge were both closed on Friday, local television channels reported without giving a reason, according to Reuters.

"There are certain groups who took the arms trusted to them by the state and pointed them toward state employees," Yildirim said on NTV, according to the AP. "We shall determine soon who they are. Our security forces have acted against these groups."
Dogan News Agency reported the national police directorate summoned all police to duty in Ankara, Reuters reported.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's whereabouts were unclear. The Turkish sister channel of CNN said he was "safe."
Erdogan has ruled Turkey since 2003. He was elected president in 2014 in the first direct presidential election, after serving as prime minister for three terms.

Erdogan has been criticized in recent years over crackdowns on media freedoms, following a corruption investigation that was shut down as an attempt to overthrow him.
The joint US-Turkish Military Base at Incirlik, located in Adana, and other outlying bases have gone to "Force Protection Condition Delta." According to U.S. military documents, Force Protection Condition DELTA dictates all missions halt except base security.

As of July 1, 2,000 U.S. military personnel are stationed in Turkey, along with 600 civilian government personnel work for the U.S. government in Turkey, of which 350 are Turkish nationals
Families and dependents of U.S. personnel have already been evacuated from the base. They were evacuated after the terror attacks against the Istanbul airport in late June.

Major Explosion in Turkish Capital Ankara Kills at Least 27

A large explosion in Turkey’s capital left at least 27 people dead and many more injured, according to the local governor, marking the third time the city’s been attacked in five months.
The blast occurred at around 7 p.m. local time on Sunday near a part of Guvenpark in Ankara, which is used by Turkish police, Haberturk reported. The governor’s office said at least 75 people were injured in the attack, which TRT World reported was a suicide car bomb.
The explosion comes less than a month after a Feb. 17 car bombing killed at least 30 people in the city, most of them soldiers. That attack was claimed by a group called the Kurdistan Freedom Falcons, or TAK, which is linked to Kurdish separatists from the PKK. A pair of Islamic State suicide bombers last October killed more than 100 people in the city.
The U.S. Embassy in Ankara two days ago warned of a terrorist plot to attack Turkish government buildings and lodgings in the Bahcelievler area of Ankara, citing specific information.
