MUNICH (Reuters) - The 18-year-old German-Iranian gunman who killed nine people in Munich on Friday began planning the attack a year ago after visiting the German city of Winnenden where another teenager killed 15 people in 2009, Bavarian officials said on Sunday.

Materials found at the gunman's home also showed he had been hospitalised for psychiatric care for three months around the same time, and was an avid player of violent video games, the officials told a news conference.
