NPR · back to the audit

At least one person is dead and several people are injured after a vehicle drove into the crowd at a Pride event in Berlin on Saturday, in what German Chancellor Friedrich Merz called "an attack on our society."
On Sunday, Germany's interior minister Alexander Dobrindt named the suspect as 21-year-old Abdul Ballout.
"Everything we see here points to us dealing with an Islamic terror attack," Dobrindt said, adding that the total number of injured was 29.
"If you encounter the suspect, immediately dial 110! Do not approach him, he may be armed and dangerous!" Berlin police warned the public.
Kai Wegner, the governing mayor of Berlin, called the incident an "attack on our free and cosmopolitan society." "Berlin is the city of freedom - and our freedom has been horribly attacked today," Wegner said.
