Man shot dead in Berlin after dispute near major train station; suspects flee
A 30-year-old man was shot and killed in Berlin late Sunday near the Hardenbergplatz in front of the Zoologischer Garten train station, police said. The victim died at the scene despite rescue efforts by paramedics.
The shooting followed a dispute involving multiple people, according to a police spokesperson. Authorities did not specify how many shots were fired or the exact number of suspects, but confirmed the perpetrators fled the scene. Berlin’s homicide division has taken over the investigation, and an autopsy of the victim was scheduled for Monday, a prosecutor’s office spokesperson said.
The incident caused significant traffic disruptions in the area, a major transit hub in western Berlin near the Kurfürstendamm shopping district and the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. Police continued searching for the suspects, whose identities and motives remained unclear.
This is the latest in a series of firearm-related incidents in the city. Early Sunday, unknown individuals shot at the window of a restaurant in the Neukölln district, and a 38-year-old man was shot in Schöneberg the previous weekend, according to local reports .
