Familienbelagerung nach Schusswaffenangriff: Krankenhaus unter Polizeischutz

In Berlin-Neukölln, emergency services responded to a call on Lipschitzallee at 1:00 PM, where they found a 20-year-old man with a gunshot wound. The man was promptly transported to the hospital due to the severity of his injuries, with reports indicating that his life was in danger. Upon arrival at the hospital, not only medical staff and law enforcement were present, but also numerous family members of the victim, who reportedly overwhelmed the hospital staff and emergency responders. As a result, the hospital had to be placed under police protection to ensure the safety of those inside. Fortunately, there were no reported incidents or disturbances at the hospital according to a police spokesperson.

Meanwhile, at the crime scene, the police were actively engaged in operations. Witnesses observed law enforcement officers dealing with rowdy and disruptive individuals, necessitating temporary detentions to restore order. Although at least one person was temporarily apprehended, the perpetrator, thus far, remains at large. Authorities planned to utilize tracking dogs around the crime scene in the afternoon to aid in the investigation.

The incident leading to the shooting seems to have stemmed from a dispute involving multiple individuals before the gunfire. Sources suggest that the conflict involved the current and former owners of an adjacent hair salon, culminating in at least one gunshot being fired. While the exact circumstances surrounding the case remain unclear, the 8th Homicide Division has taken charge of the investigations to shed light on the incident.
