Shooting at Berlin clinic - medical staff wounded
Germany’s local media reported a shooting Tuesday inside a clinic in the capital Berlin.
The Bild newspaper said an unspecified number of medical staff members, including a doctor, were injured in the shooting, which was carried out in the Steglitz district in southwestern Berlin at about 11:00 a.m. local time.
The attacker killed himself after the shooting at the Benjamin Franklin Campus.
An anti-terrorist unit have been deployed to a clinic at Charité University’s Benjamin Franklin campus, which is one of Europe’s largest hospitals.
The main building of the compound has been evacuated.
The targeted doctor was taken to an intensive care unit with critical injuries but later died, according to a statement from Berlin’s police department.
Today’s shooting follows a spate of violent incidents in Bavaria which have shaken Germany.
On Sunday, a refugee who pledged allegiance to Isis blew himself up after being turned away from a music festival in Ansbach, injuring 12 people.
That attack came after a shooting massacre in Munich on Friday and an Isis-inspired axe rampage on board a train in Wuerzburg two days earlier
