Victims of Friday's deadly shooting in Munich were all residents of the city and the region but most were from immigrant families.

Of the dead, three were Turkish, according to the Turkish foreign minister at a news conference. Three were Kosovars, according to Twitter messages from that country's foreign minister. And one was Greek, according to a statement from the Greek foreign ministry.

Hungary's foreign minister said a Hungarian-German born in 2001 had been killed in the attack, as well.

Police said nine people, aged between 14 and 45, died in the attack, including seven teens.

Dijamant Zabergja, a 21-year-old whose family came from Kosovo, was with a friend near the McDonald's restaurant where the shooting began, his father said in a video interview.

"The friend called me. He said they were buying a drink and wanted to sit outside," the father told the Daily Mail in a video interview. "The attacker was two meters away. He opened fire, the friend fled...and my son...was shot and killed. I'm still dreaming. I don't believe it yet."

NOTE TO READERS: The identities of two girls believed to have been killed in the attack have been removed pending further reporting.
