- Separately, multiple shots were fired in Steglitz on Saturday evening and a 17-year-old was seriously wounded and also underwent emergency surgery.
- Bystanders gave first aid at both scenes before emergency services transported the victims to hospital, where both remain in inpatient care.
- A Fachkommissariat has taken over the Moabit stabbing probe on suspicion of dangerous bodily harm and a Mordkommission is handling the Steglitz shooting; no public details on suspects or motives have been released.
