Greek teen, 19, was shot dead by loner gunman after throwing himself in front of twin sister to protect her
Huseyin Dayicik's heroic act cost him his life
A VICTIM of Friday night's massacre at a shopping centre in Munich reportedly threw himself in front of the "deranged" gunman to protect his twin sister.
Huseyin Dayicik was one of those brutally gunned down by German-Iranian David Ali Sonboly at the Olympia Center in the German city on Friday night.
Some reports suggest that instead of choosing to run, the 19-year-old victim saved his sister's life - causing him to be shot twice by the killer himself.
The Greek teen was reportedly at the shopping centre buying gifts for his family when he was caught up in the violence.
As Germany woke up to the true horror of what happened yesterday, the identities of those whose lives the killer had claimed started to emerge.
Among the dead were the 21-year-old son of a policeman, Dijamant Zabergja, Armela Segashi and her 14-year-old friend Sabina Sulaj, football fanatic Gulliano Kollmann, 18, and 15-year-old Can Leyla.
Dijamant, Armela and Sabina were said to be Kosovan, while three of the victims were Turkish and Huseyin, Greek.
Three of the victims were from the same family, all aged between 13 and 15, according to the Bavarian Red Cross.
The teen gunman was said to have been bullied at school for years, obsessed with mass killings and violent computer games, and owned a book on shootings called “Rampage in Head: Why Students Kill”.
The “Anders Breivik-obsessed” loner son of a taxi driver has been named as Ali David Sonboly – a depressed 18-year-old receiving psychiatric care – who fired at helpless children in a McDonald’s, marauded through a shopping mall in a killing spree, before turning the gun on himself and ending his life.

Sonboly, who had far-right terrorist Anders Breivik as his WhatsApp profile image, was armed with a 9mm Glock handgun and was carrying 300 rounds.
Twenty-one people were injured in the killings, 16 of whom were still being treated in hospital.
Three are in a critical condition.
After searching his house police have said there is no evidence the "deranged" killer had links to ISIS, but was obsessed with similar attacks - including the 2009 Winnenden shootings that left 15 people dead in south-west Germany.
Cops also said he was interested in violent computer games.
On Saturday morning Naim Zabergja, whose son Dijamant was killed in the shooting, arrived at the scene of the massacre, clutching a picture of his son and a bunch of flowers to lay in tribute.
He had previously written on Facebook: "With great sadness I want to inform you that my son Dijamant Zabergja, 21, was killed yesterday in Munich."
According to BILD’s Oliver Grothmann, three of the gunman's victims were aged 14, two were 15, one 17, one 19, one 20, and one 45.
It is feared the massacre was a revenge attack for teens who had tormented him at school, after he appeared to shout at someone on a balcony "because of you I was bullied for 7 years".
Only one of Sonboly's victims was shot in the head - and police have said the killer was likely to have been left-handed.
Officers have also said it is likely he had "some kind of mental disorder" and had no criminal record.
Munich prosecutors say the shooter had been in psychiatric care and treated for depression.
They have 2300 officers investigating the killings.
German investigators say they have established an "obvious link" between Friday's shooting and far-right Norwegian killer Anders Breivik.
Munich police chief Hubertus Andrae described the gunman as obsessed with mass killings- added that he researched the theme of rampages and may have researched Breivik's lethal killing spree.
Friday's carnage came on the fifth anniversary of right-wing fanatic Breivik's massacre in Norway that killed 77 people, many of them youngsters.
In a press conference on Saturday afternoon a German police chief said: “A shooter without any political motivation.
“There is one shooting injury to his head area. It is assumed he committed suicide.
“There are indications he was under psychological treatment.
“So far we have no data about him being a criminal. In 2010, he was recorded for involvement with youngsters and regarding a burglary.”
Officers revealed in a press conference that the killer had been living in Munich for more than two years.
According to one eyewitness the shooter shouted "I'm German, f*** foreigners" during his rampage.
A neighbour of the gunman told the German newspaper Bild: "He lived right beside me. I saw him now and then but didn't really know him.
A friend of mine was a classmate of his and told me he was the quiet type. He recognised him in the videos."
The mass murderer targeted kids in a McDonald's after he ran out of the restaurant's toilets.
One mother has told how her son saw the killer load his handgun before he unleashed the attack.
Munich police investigator Robert Heimberger said it appears that the shooter hacked a Facebook account and sent a message urging people to come to the mall for a free giveaway.
The posting, sent from a young woman's account, urged people to come to the mall at 4 pm, saying: "I'll give you something if you want, but not too expensive."
Heimberger says: "It appears it was prepared by the suspect and then sent out.";
Some reports suggest the Facebook post claimed that free food would be given away at McDonald's.
A woman, who wished to only be known as Lauretta, told CNN she was in the McDonald's restaurant at the time of the attack and saw many casualties that were children.
Lauretta said: "I hear like an alarm and boom, boom, boom ... and he's still killing the children. The children were sitting to eat. they can't run."
Speaking on Saturday German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that the country's security services will "do everything possible to protect the security and freedom of all people in Germany" in the wake of two attacks in less than a week.
Merkel told reporters in Berlin on Saturday that an attack on a train on Monday night and Friday night's deadly rampage in Munich had involved "places where any of us could have been" and have left Germans wondering "where is safe?"
Combined with the deadly attack in the French city of Nice, she said people are growing increasingly concerned.
"Such an evening and such a night is difficult to bear," she said of the Munich attack. "And it's even more difficult to bear because we have had so much terrible news in so few days."
