According to the German newspaper Das Bild, the deadly Munich shooting that claimed the lives of 10 people and injured 27 was the work of an 18-year-old German citizen of Iranian origin named Ali David Sonboli.
Bild released a video after the shooting, with the loud shouting match between the shooter, who was pacing on the top floor of a nearby parking garage, and Thomas Selby, 57, a truck driver who was looking at him from his balcony.
Selby told Bild: “I was having a beer after work and I heard gunshots. First they were at the McDonalds – boom, boom, boom. Then people were running out of the parking lot. It’s right under my house. I looked from my balcony and saw him reloading his pistol. I threw my beer bottle at him. It broke on the roof.”
Their calls back and forth, including a third person who joined in, were captured on video. The following is a translation from the German transcript:
Neighbor: “You’re a son of a [expletive].”
Shooter: “Because of you I’ve been abused for seven years.”
Neighbor: “You’re a son of a [expletive].”
Shooter: “And now I have to buy a pistol in order to shoot you.”
Neighbor: “A pistol? Go [expletive] yourself.”
Shooter: “I’m German.”
Neighbor: “You’re a son of a [expletive], that’s what you are.”
Shooter: “Stop taking pictures.”
Neighbor: “You son of a [expletive], what are you doing?”
Shooter: “I was born here.”
Third voice: “[Expletive] foreigners.”
Neighbor: “What the hell do you think you’re doing.”
Shooter: “I grew up here in Hartz IV (a welfare neighborhood).”
Neighbor: “You’re a son of a [expletive], you.”
Shooter: “You’re right, you’re right, you’re right.”
