MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Shots were fired on Thursday near the Israeli Consulate General and the historical museum in central Munich, the capital of the German state of Bavaria, prompting police to launch a major operation involving a helicopter, the force said on Thursday.
The Munich police told Sputnik that the shooter was found to carry a long-barreled weapon. The suspect was injured, they said, adding that there was no immediate information about the victims.
German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser called the shooting in Munich "a serious incident".
"We are exchanging information. But I ask for your understanding; the operation in Munich is ongoing, and I would like to sincerely thank the police in Munich, who, in my opinion, are doing a good job … We would not like to speculate about what happened there. We have to wait. You know yourself that the protection of Jewish and Israeli sites is a high priority," Faeser told reporters without providing details about the incident.
Faeser also expressed regret that the incident had occurred near the Munich Documentation Center for the History of National Socialism and the Israeli consulate.
