Berlin shooting kills one, injures 2 - Gayo Lues
The shooting took place around 1:15 am (2315 GMT) on Thursday in the Neukoelln district of Berlin, which has a large community of Turkish immigrants and their descendants, AFP reported.
“A young man of 22, of immigrant origin, was killed and two young men were seriously wounded. Their lives are in danger,” a police spokeswoman said.
There is no report about the nationality of the victims but local media reports indicate that all five men in the targeted group were of Turkish origin.
Police also announced that a manhunt is underway for the assailant, who has fled on foot.
The development comes amid a growing anti-immigrant campaign in most Western European countries by nationalist elements and rightist governments.
