Overview
- Unidentified persons fired multiple shots at a shop on Osdorfer Straße in Berlin-Steglitz at about 3:55 a.m. on Monday, and officers later found a suspected homemade explosive or incendiary device by the store entrance.
- Police said there were no injuries and that the device did not detonate when it was discovered by arriving officers.
- The Landeskriminalamt special unit Ferrum is leading the investigation while forensic technicians continue on-site work and Ostpreußendamm is closed to Blankertzweg for evidence collection.
- Ferrum has opened more than 600 firearms-related probes since its creation about nine months ago and coordinates with the public prosecutor’s Telum group to focus prosecutions tied to organized-crime shootings.
- Investigations are ongoing and may lead to arrests or targeted enforcement in Steglitz, so residents should expect continued road closures and a sustained police presence in the area.
