The now-dead suspect, 21-year-old German citizen of Lebanese-decent, Abdul B., was shot and killed by special unit police officers (SEK) in Berlin Sunday after he allegedly charged members of German law enforcement with a knife, NBC News reported.
Abdul B. did have a criminal background and had been sentenced to 10 months in a Berlin prison, Dobrindt said, It is unclear what crime he had committed.
What we know
The pride festival in the German capitol is one of the largest of its kind in Europe, NBC noted. (RELATED: Trump Moves To Legitimize Ex-Jihadist Leader’s Regime) German authorities described the suspect as having been “radicalized” and a member of “Islamist circles,” the outlet noted. “Everything we are seeing here indicates that we have experienced an Islamist attack,” German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt told journalists at a press conference Sunday.
The gunshots at the Bite of Seattle food festival beneath the famous Space Needle were heard at around 6pm local time (01:00 GMT Monday). “What happened here today at the Seattle Center was an unbelievable tragedy and a horrific act of violence,” Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson said at the news conference.
“We have far too much gun violence in this city and in this country, and we’re coming off of a week in Seattle where we’ve had three major incidents of gun violence in just a few days.” Police said the dead were two men, aged 19 and 44, and a 56-year old woman.
Reactions
Assistant Seattle Police Chief Tyrone Davis told a news conference on Sunday night that there was no ongoing threat to the public, but added that police did not have a description of the suspect who remained on the run. Police said the suspect in custody was a “young person” but declined to provide more details.

America-First Read
Endless counterterrorism expansions erode American liberty and drain treasury without securing the border.
Progressives see this as blowback from Western military interventions in the Middle East that displace populations and radicalize youth, arguing America should cut foreign entanglements that fuel migration crises hitting U.S. borders. They fear expanded domestic surveillance powers justified by European attacks will disproportionately target Muslim-American communities and dissenters, harming civil liberties without stopping homegrown threats. The tradeoff is between addressing root causes abroad versus hardening a security state at home that costs taxpayers billions.
