German authorities have so far avoided linking the gun attack to a Jihadist plot.
There is also the suspicion the atrocity could have been carried out by far-right fanatics, as the horror unfolded on the fifth anniversary of the Anders Breivik massacre in Norway that killed 77 people.
However, the witness claims she heard the gunman scream 'Allahu Akbar', meaning 'God is Great' -- a phrase often used by Jihadists.
Lauretta said she was sure the attacker yelled the phrase because she is a practising Muslim.
"I hear this and I only cry", she said.
