Summary
At least 1 person was killed and 16 injured when a white van drove into people in Berlin’s Tiergarten park near the Pride route, then crashed into a tree.
Police said several victims suffered life-threatening injuries, cleared the area around 10:15 p.m., and launched an intensive search for possible suspects.
Authorities said they still do not know the motive or the identity of the perpetrator or perpetrators, while ambulances and firefighters treated victims at the scene.
Hundreds of thousands had gathered for Christopher Street Day—one of Europe’s largest LGBTQ+ events—before celebrations and a concert near Brandenburg Gate were called off.
