In Berlin, more than 3.5 million people live in a relatively small area. This means that the fire brigade and police have a lot to do. Because not all conflicts end well.
But violence rarely escalates to the point where firearms are used. In the north of central Berlin, the police had to be deployed and deal with a confusing situation. The officers tackled the incident in the middle of a residential area with a large contingent.
Berlin: Shots fired in residential area
According to initial findings, a shooting occurred yesterday (9 September) at around 10.30 p.m. at the intersection of Stettiner Strasse and Badstrasse. The residential area is in the Gesundbrunnen district (Mitte district). The police confirmed the following morning that a 19-year-old had been taken to hospital with injuries.
