BERLIN (Reuters) - German police on Sunday said they had shot and injured a man who had rampaged with a knife through the Berlin Cathedral, and also said there were no signs the incident was politically motivated.

 

Police said on Twitter that officers rushed to the scene after a staff member at the Berliner Dom, a major tourist attraction on the historic Museum Island in the German capital, called the emergency services to report the incident.

 

A policeman shot the knife-wielding man in the legs. One policeman was also injured, police said, providing no details on how the injuries were sustained.

 

Both the suspect and the police officer were taken to hospital for treatment. Some 100 people were at the Dom at the time, police said.

"There are no indications that the motive was terrorism- or Islamist-related," police wrote on Twitter.

I like how they have ruled out it is politically motivated, as they probably already know it is religiously motivated.

Media claim attacker is a 50+ Australian national who police defined as a 'hooligan' . At this stage no mention of motive, religious / political or just plain idiocy. It is claimed the injured police was a friendly fire incident.

No terrorism, no political reasons??? Is this only a classic case of pure lunacy and mental instability?

Yes, and of course a couple of glasses of real beer! Thanks, Guzzi!

Sheeple have certainly forgotten what terrorism means and accept media brainwashing . I am certain those injured or dead and their families feel terrorised! 

media has 2 purposes. To have power . And make money ( advertising).

Nobody yet wants to counter what the police say?

Make it about islam, although there is no sign of it?

Maybe the 50 year old Australian had a Serbian grandgrandmother, who immigrated to Australia in the early 1900's and once shook hands with a Muslim woman in the mountain- village, she came from, which clearly makes the man a Muslim...?!

Nothing?!

Wait until police can confirm alleged motive - I'm sure I'm not alone with being sick & tired of conspiracy posts.

Right now in the US of A  thousands of police officer are asking why this idiot shoot him in the legs?  Do the German police have not any training in shooting?

Any evidence to back that up?
