Munich police said there appears to be at least one suspect, but authorities would not confirm if any suspects are in custody or on the loose.
City police alerted the public that there is a large police operation, and asked that people avoid the area around the shopping center.
Law enforcement officers are responding in large numbers. German media say multiple people are injured.
It's the second attack in Germany in less than a week. On Monday, a 17-year-old Afghan wounded four people in an ax-and-knife attack on a regional train near the Bavarian city of Wuerzburg, and another woman outside as he fled. All survived, although one man from the train remains in life-threatening condition. The attacker was shot and killed by police.
The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the train attack, but authorities have said the teen likely acted alone.
