German police shot and killed Abdul Ballout, a 21-year-old German citizen of Lebanese heritage, after he allegedly drove a van into a crowd at Berlin's Christopher Street Day Pride celebration in Tiergarten park, then attacked bystanders with a machete. One woman was killed and 29 people were injured, three critically. Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt described the incident as an Islamic terror attack. Hundreds of mourners gathered at Brandenburg Gate to grieve and express solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community. Authorities plan to review security for major public events amid concerns about copycat attacks.
