Police added that the suspect is believed to have acted alone and the lives of the victims were not in danger.

Bavaria’s state interior minister, Joachim Herrmann, told German news agency dpa that the suspect had received psychiatric treatment in the past.

He did not give further details, but said he was a Croatian national who was living with his parents.

Schongau has more than 12,000 inhabitants and is located south-west of Munich.
