At least nine people have been killed in a shooting in Munich at the Olympia-Einkaufszentrum, Bavaria's largest shopping centre.

Investigators say the "acute terror situation" has sparked the biggest police operation in Munich for more than a decade, adding: "We believe we are dealing with a shooting rampage."

In a video posted on Twitter, a man carrying a rifle who was filmed near the area can be heard insulting "Turks", and shouting up to people filming him from a balcony.

There have been suggestions that the shooting could have been a right-wing attack. It comes on the anniversary of the mass murder by right-wing extremist Anders Behring Breivik in Norway. 

Warning, some viewers may find the following footage distressing. 

Below is the transcript of the conversation between the gunman and the man on the balcony, much of which has been censored, given the language used.

Balcony Man: "You f****** a****** you..."
Shooter: "Because of you I [unintelligible]..."
