The New Normal

In the last half hour, Twitter has advised me that this is so not the moment for me to go shopping at Netto, my local discount supermarket.

"Incredibly large police presence at #Hohenzollernplatz U-Bahn station in Munich. Trains cancelled and rumors of a shooting. Police keep coming... at least 20 cars now, plenty of whom are heavily equipped. All wearing bullet proof vests."

It could, of course, be a storm in a teacup. But I guess it's comforting to see how quickly the Munich police are able to respond.
