Bloody night in Lankwitz: man seriously injured at the shootout!

In the night of Friday, November 29, 2024, a 30-year-old man in Berlin-Lankwitz was the victim of an armed attack. According to previous investigations by the police and the public prosecutor, the incident happened around 1:45 a.m. on the Wedellstraße sidewalk, where the man was shot by an unknown person. Despite the dramatic incident in which the perpetrator remained fleeting, the rescue workers managed to transport the seriously injured to a hospital where he was operated on. His condition is described as critical of how rbb24 reported.

In addition, the fire brigade was called for an assignment in Gabainstraße, where there was initially talk of stab wounds. But on site it turned out that the injuries were caused by shots, which made the situation even more dramatic. Over 30 emergency services were on site, while officials secured the road with machine guns and initiated a nearby area search according to the fleeting perpetrator. The entire area was cordoned off far, and special forces immediately began to secure evidence and survey of witnesses, such as the Märkische General reported.

The shots in Lankwitz fit into a worrying series of violent acts in Berlin. It was only on November 27 that a 31-year-old man in Kreuzberg was seriously injured by shots and later died in the hospital. This is apparently related to persistent clan conflicts in the city. Although the exact motivation for the attack in Lankwitz remains unclear, the investigation is now in the hands of a murder commission that wants to find out whether similar causes may also be involved here.
