Police fatally shoot gunman near Israeli Consulate in Munich

ai generated text

A man, identified as an 18-year-old Austrian national with Bosnian roots, was shot and killed by German police near the Israeli Consulate in Munich. The incident occurred after the man, who was carrying a long-barreled gun, opened fire on police officers. Five officers were involved in the exchange of gunfire, and the suspect was fatally injured. There were no indications of any other suspects or injuries. The motive behind the incident is still unknown, but authorities assumed it to be a terrorist attack involving the Israeli Consulate. The incident occurred on the anniversary of the 1972 Munich Olympics bombing.

    1. Munich held its breath for a time, there were moments of great fear about what could happen.
    2. The protection of Jewish institutions is of central importance to us.
    3. There may be a connection — that must be cleared up.

    1. We know that he acted here with a long-barrelled gun … an old-fashioned repeater rifle.
    2. Due to the intervention of the police, the perpetrator was stopped and probably died at the scene.
    3. Police responded with armed force against the perpetrator, who was carrying a rifle and had fired a number of shots.
    4. It's obvious that, if someone parks here within sight of the Israeli Consulate ... then starts shooting, it most probably isn't a coincidence.
    5. We have to assume that an attack on the Israeli Consulate possibly was planned early today.

    1. At 9.10am there was suddenly a loud bang. We heard at least a dozen shots. We don't know anything else at this stage. There is currently a large number of emergency personnel on the street.
    2. Our office, which is right next to the Nazi documentation centre in Munich's city centre has been sealed off by the police. Our employees all find themselves in lockdown right now.

    1. It's very sad the incident took place in front of the Nazi documentation centre and Israeli general consulate.
    2. The protection of Israeli facilities is the highest priority.

    1. We are very grateful to the police in Munich for their actions and cooperation. This event shows how dangerous the rise of Antisemitism is. It is important that the general public speaks against this. Our Consulate General was closed today to commemorate 52 years since the terrorist attack at the Olympics.
    2. It is important that the general public raises its voice against it. Our Consulate General was closed today to commemorate 52 years since the terrorist attack at the Olympic Games.
    3. This event shows how dangerous the rise of anti-Semitism is.

    1. Together we stand strong in the face of terror.
    2. I spoke now with President of Germany, my dear friend Frank-Walter Steinmeier. Together we expressed our shared condemnation and horror at the terror attack this morning near the Israeli consulate in Munich.
    3. On the day our brothers and sisters in Munich were set to stand in remembrance of our brave athletes murdered by terrorists 52 years ago, a hate-fuelled terrorist came and once again sought to murder innocent people.
