German police said a 16-year-old Afghan, who had a friendly relationship with the shooter, was arrested Sunday night in a Munich suburb.

According to police, the teen reported himself to police on Friday and told them about his relationship with the shooter. He was arrested after police said they had reason to believe he knew of the shooting plot and did not report it when he made conflicting statements.

On Friday, 18-year-old David Ali Sonboly shot and killed nine people before taking his own life at a busy shopping mall in Munich. Officials said Sonboly had a book about the Columbine and Virginia Tech shooters at his home.
