Overview

• The first incident took place on Bergmannstraße in Kreuzberg, where a 26-year-old man was shot outside a restaurant and taken to hospital.
• Hours later on Sonnenallee in Neukölln, a 39-year-old motorcyclist was struck in the legs as he mounted his bike and is now in stable condition.
• After initially reporting four fleeing suspects, police have since determined that only one shooter is being sought and he remains at large.
• A homicide commission alongside the Berlin public prosecutor’s office has opened an attempted murder inquiry into the Kreuzberg attack.
• Authorities deem a connection between the two shootings unlikely, appealing for witnesses to come forward.
