Overview
- A white van drove into people at the Tiergarten closing event for the Christopher Street Day on Saturday night, one woman died and 29 people were injured.
- Witnesses and investigators say the driver then left the vehicle and attacked passers-by with a stabbing weapon, and police identified a 21-year-old suspect known as Abdul B.
- Authorities had convicted the suspect in May under youth law for preparing a terrorist act but suspended the sentence, a decision now central to criticism of the justice and surveillance systems.
- A manhunt ended Sunday in a Kleingartenkolonie in Spandau when an SEK unit shot the suspect after officers say he lunged with a stabbing weapon; a second person briefly detained has been released.
- The Bundesanwaltschaft has taken the lead treating the case as suspected Islamist-motivated terrorism, politicians are demanding tougher rules on Gefährder, and the government has announced a transport minister change as security reviews begin.
