The Oktoberfest beer festival in Munich was temporarily closed on Wednesday after a bomb threat was linked to a killing and a series of explosions in a family home in the north of the city.
According to media reports, a 57-year-old German man allegedly shot dead his 90-year-old father and injured his mother, 81, and his 21-year-old daughter at a house in the Lerchenau district of Munich. He then allegedly booby-trapped the house with hand grenades with pins linked to tripwires, and set the house on fire.
The man left the house and is believed to have shot himself. His body was found in a nearby park.
