BERLIN, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 26th july, 2016) : A patient shot a doctor before committing suicide at a Berlin hospital on Tuesday, police said, adding there was no sign the incident was a terrorist attack.
A police spokeswoman told AFP that several shots were fired at a university hospital in the well-heeled southwestern Steglitz neighbourhood of the German capital. "According to preliminary information, a patient at the hospital shot a doctor and then killed himself," she said. "The doctor is in intensive care," the spokeswoman said, adding there was "no indication this was a terror attack". The shooting came with Germany already on edge after four brutal attacks in the south of the country.
A Syrian asylum seeker blew himself up outside a music festival and wounded 15 other people in Ansbach on Sunday, six days after four passengers on a train and a passer-by were wounded in an axe attack by another asylum seeker in Wuerzburg on July 18.
The Islamic State group claimed both attacks. On Friday, nine people were killed in a shopping centre shooting spree in Munich by a German-Iranian teenager with a history of psychological problems but no apparent links to jihadists. And a Syrian refugee killed a 45-year-old Polish woman with a large kebab knife Sunday at a snack bar in the southwestern city of Reutlingen. Police concluded that the incident, in which three others were injured, was likely a "crime of passion".
