A 29-year-old Albanian man attacked a German police station with a machete, shouting “Allahu Akbar” and expressing his desire to kill officers. Authorities are investigating a possible radical Islamist motive, finding evidence supporting this claim during a search of his home. This incident comes amidst heightened security concerns in Germany following the Gaza war and recent suspected terrorist attacks.
A 31-year-old German national was shot and killed by police at the University of Mannheim on Tuesday afternoon. The incident occurred when the man reportedly became disruptive in the library of the economics faculty. Police said the man assaulted a library employee and was holding a large machete when officers arrived at the scene. Officers responded to the “threatening situation” by shooting the man. The man, who had been banned from the library for previous disruptive behavior, was known to the police.
