Police Shoot 'Rampaging' Man in Berlin Cathedral

by VOA News

   German police shot at a "rampaging" man wielding a knife in a cathedral
   in Berlin on Sunday, according to city officers.

   "Shortly after 4 pm (1400 GMT) police shot at a rampaging man at Berlin
   Cathedral," police said in a tweet.

   "He was wounded in the leg," police said, later adding that an officer
   had been wounded, without providing further details.

   Officers rushed to the Berliner Dom, a major tourist attraction on the
   historic Museum Island in the German capital, after an employee called
   emergency services to report the incident.

   Police have said the suspect is a 53-year-old man, and that there is no
   reason to believe the attack was related to terrorism.
