ByKenThomas and Alan Suderman TheAssociatedPress ORLANDO, FLORIDA Hill- ary Clinton named Vir- ginia Sen. Tim Kaine as her vice presidential running mate Friday, adding a cen- trist former governor of a crucial battleground state to the Democratic ticket. In a text message to supporters, the presump- tive Democratic nominee said, "I'm thrilled to tell you this first: I've chosen Sen. Tim Kaine as my run- ning mate." On Twitter a few seconds later, Clinton described Kaine as "a man who's de- voted his life to fighting for others." She called him "a relentless optimist who be- lieves no problem is unsolv- able if you put in the work to solve it." With the pick, Clinton moved into the political spotlight a day after newly crowned Republican nom- inee Donald Trump closed out his convention with a fiery address accusing his general election opponent of "terrible,terriblecrimes." Kaine, 58, had long been a favorite for Clinton's ticket. Fluent in Spanish and active in the Senate on foreign relations and military affairs, he built a reputation for working across the aisle as Virgin- ia's governor and as mayor of Richmond. In a recent interview with CBS News, Clin- ton noted that Kaine has never lost an election dur- ing his lengthy political ca- reer and praised him as a "world-class mayor, gover- nor and senator." A favor- ite of Barack Obama since his early 2008 endorse- ment, the president told Clinton's campaign he be- lieved Kaine would be a strong choice during the selection process, accord- ing to a Democratic famil- iar with the search who was not authorized to dis- cuss it publicly. Those views are not shared by some liberals in the Democratic Party, who dislike his support of free trade and Wall Street. They pushed Clinton to pick Massachusetts Sen. Eliza- beth Warren or Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, intensify- ing their criticism of Kaine late this week as his selec- tion appeared imminent. Clinton's campaign largely declined to com- ment on the search process, trying to keep the details — even the names of the final- ists — under wraps to try to maximize the impact of their announcement. She made no mention of her im- pending pick during a som- ber meeting Friday with community leaders and family members affected by the Pulse nightclub shoot- ing in Orlando and a later campaign rally in Tampa. She is expected to cam- paign with Kaine on Sat- urday morning at an event in Miami. As Clinton prepared to make her VP pick Fri- day, Trump met with sup- porters at his conven- tion hotel in Cleveland to run through a long list of thank-yous after the end of his four-day coronation as head of the Republican Party. But rather than stay fo- cused on Clinton or reach out to the general election voters he now must court, the newly minted Repub- lican nominee spent con- siderable time stoking the fire of his bitter quar- rel with Republican for- mer rival Ted Cruz. "Ted, stay home," Trump said, dismissing any interest in an endorsement the Texas senator refuses to provide. "Relax. Enjoy yourself." PRESIDENTIAL RACE By Frank Jordans, David Rising and Michael Faulhaber The Associated Press MUNICH Munich police gave a "cautious all clear" early Saturday morning, more than seven hours af- ter a gunman opened fire in a crowded shopping mall and at a nearby Mc- Donald's killing nine peo- ple and wounding at least 10 others in a rampage au- thorities called an act of terrorism. A body found near the scene was that of the shooter and he appeared to have acted alone, offi- cials said. Witnesses had reported seeing three men with fire- arms near the Olympia Einkaufszentrum mall, but police said on Twitter that "as part of our man- hunt we found a person who had killed himself — the person is likely to have been the attacker who, ac- cording to the current state of the investigation, acted alone." They lifted a shutdown of all public transport in the Bavarian capital, and said more details would be disclosed at a press confer- ence later in the morning. After gunfire broke out at the mall, one of Mu- nich's largest, the city sent a smartphone alert declar- ing an "emergency situa- tion" and telling people to stay indoors, while all rail, subway and trolley service was halted in the city. It was the third major act of violence against civilians in Western Europe in eight days. The previous attacks, in the French resort city of Nice and on a train in Ba- varia, were claimed by the Islamic State group. While police called the mall shooting an act of ter- rorism, they said they had "no indication" it involved Islamic extremism and at least one witness said he heard a shooter shout an anti-foreigner slur. Theattackstartedshortly before 6 p.m. at a McDon- ald's across the street from the mall, which was filled with people doing their weekend shopping. As doz- ens of shots rang out, terri- fied shoppers ran from the scene, some carrying babies and pushing strollers. Video obtained by The Associated Press from Ger- man news agency Nons- topNews showed two bod- ies with sheets draped over them not far from the fast- food restaurant. Another video posted online showed a gunman emerging from the door of the McDonald's, raising what appeared to be a pistol with both hands and aiming at people on the sidewalk, firing as they fled in terror. Witness Luan Zequiri said he was in the mall when the shooting began. He told German broad- caster n-tv that he heard the attacker yell an anti-for- eigner insult and "there was a really loud scream." He said he saw only one attacker, who was wearing jack boots and a backpack. "I looked in his direction and he shot two people on the stairs," Zequiri said. He said he hid in a shop, then ran outside when the coast was clear and saw bodies of the dead and wounded on the ground. Germany's Interior Min- istry said Munich police had set up a hotline for concerned citizens. Resi- dents of Munich opened their doors to people seek- ing shelter using the Twitter hashtag #opendoor. Also on Twitter, police asked people to refrain from speculating about the attack. Germany's interior minister cut short his holi- day in the United States to go back to Berlin late Fri- day to meet with security officials. German Chancellor An- gela Merkel was being reg- ularly briefed on the attack, said her chief of staff, Peter Altmaier. "All that we know and can say right now is that it was a cruel and inhumane attack," he said on German public channel ARD. "We can't rule out that there are terrorist links. We can't confirm them, but we are investigating along those lines too." Altmaier noted that Fri- day was the fifth anniver- sary of the massacre in Oslo, Norway, by a far-right extremist that killed 77 peo- ple, 69 of them at a youth summer camp. "You can only have abso- lute security in an absolute surveillance state, and no- body wants that, it would be the opposite of our free western European way of life," he said. "But, and this became clear again today, we can't talk down this danger. It's a danger that many countries are exposed, especially in the west, and that's why it's im- portant to give our security agencies the instruments they need."
