The German government has called for EU-wide gun controls in the wake of the Munich shootings, as it emerged that the teenage attacker had bought a gun from Slovakia or the Czech Republic on the "dark web".

The call came as police said Ali Sonboly had planned the shootings "intensively" for more than a year, and left behind a "manifesto".
