Suspect in Berlin Pride attack shot dead by police

A 21-year-old man suspected of driving a minivan into pedestrians during Berlin's Pride celebrations, killing one and injuring 29, was shot dead by police after attempting to attack officers with a blade. The suspect, identified as Abdul B, had a history of criminal offenses and Islamist radicalization. Authorities linked the attack to a broader trend of vehicle-based assaults in Germany, which has sparked debates over security and immigration policies. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized the need to protect Germany's freedoms, while political figures called for stricter measures against Islamic extremism. The incident occurred near the Brandenburg Gate, a site of major LGBTQ events, and drew thousands to vigils expressing solidarity and condemnation of violence.
