Evidence in the gunman's home indicates he was researching shooting rampages --So far, there is no indication of a political motivation

What we learned from the police press conference on the Munich shooting:
--The attacker was an 18-year-old student, born and raised in the city
--There is no indication the attacker had a link to ISIS
--Evidence in the gunman's home indicates he was researching shooting rampages
--So far, there is no indication of a political motivation for the attack
--Most of the nine victims killed were teenagers
--The gunman may have made a Facebook post falsely claiming that the McDonald's where the attack took place was offering discounts, but police say they have not yet verified this
--The attacker used a 9-mm Glock 17 pistol that was likely obtained illegally because the serial number had been scratched off. He had about 300 bullets
--The gunman had received medical treatment for mental issues, and investigators are still looking into his mental condition
