This @GrumpyMerkel parody account tweet, translated: "The first to connect an Iranian Shiite with a Sunni terrorist group gets 1,000 Homeland points! #munich"This article originally appeared on VICE GermanyWhat exactly happened in Munich? This question hung in the air for hours after shots were fired at the Olympia mall in the southern German city on Friday night. At a press conference in the early hours of Saturday morning, the police were able to provide a few answers: nine people lost their lives and many more were injured. They no longer considered the threat active as the alleged shooter had committed suicide. The police said investigations so far showed the 18-year-old German-Iranian to be a lone perpetrator.Wer als erster einen iranischen Schiiten mit einer sunnitischen Terrorgruppe in Verbindung bringt, kriegt 1000 Homeland-Punkte! — Grumpy Merkel (@GrumpyMerkel)July 23, 2016

In English, the tweet loosely read: "To Merkel's Unity Party: Thanks for the terror in Germany and Europe!" Another one went further. "AfD Munich: Our sympathies for the bereaved and the injured," it read, "our disgust for the Merkelites and leftist idiots who have a share in the blame!"Merkel-Einheitspartei: danke für den Terror in Deutschland und Europa!
