Shots Fired at Company Building and Car in Berlin's Wilmersdorf District

Berlin police are investigating a shooting incident in Wilmersdorf after discovering multiple bullet holes at a company building and a car parked outside. The damage was reported by an employee around midday on Saturday, prompting a police response.

Officers secured shell casings from the scene. While no injuries have been reported, the motive and perpetrators remain unknown. The criminal police have taken charge of the investigation. Authorities are considering whether to assign the case to the special unit 'Ferrum' at the state criminal police office (LKA), which was established in late 2025 to combat a significant increase in firearms-related crime.

'Ferrum' works closely with the prosecutor's investigation group 'Telum.' These units have been actively targeting organized crime, particularly gangs whose leaders operate from Turkey and extort money from business owners of Turkish and Kurdish descent in Berlin and other cities. Since 'Ferrum' began its operations, police have seized over 50 firearms, more than 800 rounds of ammunition, and numerous other dangerous items. As of June 22, arrest warrants had been issued for 54 suspects, and approximately 460 investigations are underway.
