The Yom Kippur shooter intended to carry out a 'massacre' and was found carrying close to nine pounds of explosives, Germany's top prosecutor has said as photos reveal the injuries he sustained in a battle with police. He was escorted by police officers from a helicopter to his arraignment on Thursday ahead of an appearance in court, and had a white bandage on his neck from where he was injured the day before.
