Shots were fired near the Israeli Consulate General in Munich, which prompted the police to launch a special operation and cordon off the area.
On the anniversary of the 1972 terrorist attack that killed 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics, a shooting took place near the Israeli Consulate General. German police confirmed that their officers opened fire on a suspicious man in the Karolinenplatz area of central Munich. One theory is that the suspect was linked to a security threat to the consulate.
Media reports indicate that the suspect was wounded, after which police took control of the scene. In a statement, law enforcement agencies said: “The area has been cordoned off and no additional suspects have been identified at this time.” The first reports of gunfire came from local residents who claimed to have heard gunshots and shouts of “Run! Run!”
In the morning, the Süddeutsche Zeitung reported that an unknown person had fired two shots near the consulate near the Nazi Party Documentation Center. In connection with the incident, the Munich police have increased their presence in the city center. Residents have been asked not to leave their homes and to avoid the area where the special operation is ongoing.
