		</div><p>German chancellor Angela Merkel was among those paying tributes to the victims of the July 22 shooting in Munich which saw nine people killed.</p>
<p>Ms Merkel joined President Joachim Gauck at a non-denominational church service at the Frauenkirche, or Church of Our Lady &#8211; the first of two memorial events.</p>
<p>Mr Gauck was speaking later in the day at an event in Bavaria&#8217;s state parliament.</p>
<p>An 18-year-old German-Iranian man killed nine people and wounded over 30 others at a McDonald&#8217;s restaurant and shopping mall in the city. He then killed himself.</p>
<p>The gunman was a withdrawn loner obsessed with playing &#8220;killer&#8221; video games who had been treated for depression and psychiatric problems, said officials.</p>
<p>Witnesses have said the gunman shouted slurs against foreigners, even though he himself was the German-born son of Iranian asylum-seekers.</p>
<p>The restaurant where most of the victims died was a hangout for youths of immigrant backgrounds, and the dead included victims with Hungarian, Turkish, Greek, and Kosovo Albanian backgrounds and a stateless person.</p>
<p>There is no suggestion that Islamic extremism played any part in the Munich attack.</p>
<p>However, the rampage in Munich was the deadliest of a string of attacks over a week that shook Germany.</p>
<p>They included an axe attack and a bombing in Bavaria that were both claimed by the Islamic State group.</p>
