Berlin Shootings, Bruchsal Stabbing, and Major Crashes Prompt Wide Police Response Across Germany

Authorities escalate inquiries, deploying homicide detectives, prosecutors and emergency teams across several states.

Overview

  • In Berlin-Kreuzberg, a 34-year-old was shot in the leg near Böcklerpark late Saturday and hospitalized; the 6th homicide commission is probing attempted manslaughter as the suspect remains at large.
  • Also Saturday night in Berlin-Tegel, multiple shots struck a residential building without causing injuries; police say the assailants fled by car and the investigation continues.
  • In Bruchsal, a park confrontation left a 23-year-old with a neck stab wound and a 19-year-old injured; a helicopter-aided manhunt found no suspects, and prosecutors classify the case as suspected attempted homicide.
  • Emergency services reported several severe road collisions, including a fatal rollover that killed a 20-year-old on the B253 in Hesse, an alcohol-related crash on the A2 near Magdeburg, a frontal crash in Weiterstadt requiring an airlift, an 86-year-old pedestrian airlifted in Schmidmühlen, a car hitting a house and burning in Tucheim, and a multi-car pileup on the B2 near Leipzig.
  • Police and sports authorities opened cases after roughly 40 Wuppertaler fans stormed the pitch in the Niederrheinpokal and after a post-match brawl at a B‑youth game in Taufkirchen, where the Bavarian FA requested club statements.
