At the scene on Grabbeallee at the corner of Tschaikowskistraße, officers determined that no one had been struck by the shots. Numerous eyewitnesses consistently reported that shots had been fired from a moving car. Police questioned the witnesses and secured evidence at the scene.
In Tschaikowskistraße, officers with weapons drawn searched a residential building where the suspect may have hidden – without success.
Approximately 20 metres from the scene stood a vehicle involved in an accident. One car had apparently been hit from behind by another vehicle. Investigators on site considered a possible connection between the rear-end collision and the shots.
A police helicopter was also involved in the search. According to bz-berlin.de, it has not yet been clarified whether live ammunition was actually used. The investigation is ongoing.
