A woman was shot and killed by police in a Munich supermarket on Monday evening after allegedly attacking the officers with a knife. The attacker died at the scene, according to a police spokesperson.
The officers were initially dispatched to a different location, near Goetheplatz, following a report of bodily harm. The woman who reported the incident had pursued the suspect and led the police to the supermarket in the Sendling district, where the suspect was subsequently found.
Details about the shooting remain unclear. The suspect reportedly confronted the police with a knife, prompting the officers to use their weapon. It has not yet been disclosed who fired the shots or how many were fired.
Further information about the deceased woman and the nature of the bodily harm was not available. On Monday evening, forensic investigation measures were underway at the store. The street in front of the supermarket, which had been temporarily closed, has since been reopened.
