The Munich attacker left behind a long manifesto on his computer, which investigators are still analyzing, Robert Heimberger, president of the Bavarian state criminal police office, said Sunday.

Officials said that photographs found on the shooter’s camera showed he had also visited the German town of Winnenden, the site of a deadly 2009 school shooting.
