Memorials were held this weekend in Germany for victims of a mass shooting on Friday near a shopping center in Munich. German police say 18-year-old Ali Sonboly killed nine people with a handgun in an apparently random attack before killing himself. An investigator said Sonboly appeared to have been obsessed with mass shootings and began planning his attack after visiting the site of a school shooting that left 15 dead in the German town of Winnenden. The shooting took place on the fifth anniversary of a mass shooting in Norway that left 77 people dead. Police said Sonboly had pictures of that shooter, Anders Breivik, on his computer. Police also said Sonboly had been hospitalized for two months last year for psychiatric care.
