Fear in Munich, shots fired near Israeli consulate
Different shots gunshots near the Museum and Nazi documentation center and the Israeli consulate in downtown Munich: According to the police in the Bavarian capital, law enforcement officers shot at a suspicious person. The person was hit. The police urged people to avoid the affected area, which is located between the Briennerstrasse And Carolinian Square. According to the website of the magazine Focus, the episode could be connected to the anniversary of the attack at the 1972 Munich Olympics against the athletes of the Israeli delegation by the terrorist organization Black September.
The suspect reportedly went to the Nazi Documentation Center with a long-barreled pistol and opened fire on the police station. The officers apparently returned fire, Bild reports. “At the moment There is no evidence of other suspicious persons connected to the operation“, Munich police said, adding that “due to the current operational situation, we have increased the police presence in the city area.” “However, we have no indications of other locations or other suspicious persons,” the police added. Benedikt Franke, managing director of the Munich Security Conference (Siko), heard the shots. His office is next to the area where the shooting took place. “Our office is currently cordoned off by the police. Our employees are in isolation. At exactly 9:10 a.m., a loud bang was suddenly heard. At least a dozen shots were heard. We don’t know anything else at the moment,” Franke told Bild. EST NG01 mlc 051033 SET 24
