German police have fatally shot a teenage Austrian gunman near the Israeli consulate and a Nazi history museum in Munich, Reuters reports.
The gunman, armed with an old rifle, was reported to be an Islamist known to security authorities. The incident occurred on the anniversary of the 1972 Munich Olympics attack on Israeli athletes, but the motive remains unclear. The Israeli consulate was closed for the anniversary, and no staff were injured.
The shooting highlights increased tensions in Germany, particularly following a recent far-right electoral victory. Both German and Israeli leaders condemned the attack as an act of terrorism.
