MUNICH: Many in Munich were stranded when the city was in lockdown following a shooting in a mall that left at least nine people dead, on Friday.

However, help started to pour in via social media. Locals started tweeting to offer their homes and provide shelter to those who could not go home.

Muslim citizens also came forward in this time of need. Mosques remained open all night long to provide shelter.

“Mosques in town will be open all night long for everyone stuck because of the road.”
