At least ten people have been killed after an attack at a shopping center in Munich, and with the city in a state of emergency, residents reached out to help on social media.
Police have confirmed that a gunman involved in the attack at the Olympia-Einkaufszentrum mall has died, where shooting is believed to have started outside a fast food restaurant.
As a result of the attack, the entire transport network in the city was shut down as police urged people to stay indoors and find shelter.
With that in mind, and recognising that many people would either have no place to go or would be unable to make it home, Munich residents have opened up their doors using the hashtags #OffeneTuer, #OffeneTür or #OpenDoor.
Anyone is stuck at Donnersbergerbrücke/Landsbergerstrasse tweet #offeneTuer we didn't clean up, but we've got food and Augustiner #opendoor

Mosques in the area are also providing refuge to people who may have nowhere to go, while there are reports that local hotels and restaurants have been taking people in as well.
Großartig: Türkische Moscheen öffnen ihre Türen für alle, die nicht nach Hause können. Stay strong! #Muenchen #offenetuer
