Suspected attacker dies after police shooting

The suspected perpetrator, whose identity has not yet been disclosed, fled after the attack and was arrested by the police near a fast food restaurant. The police shot the attacker, a police spokesman told the German Press Agency. No further information about the incident was initially available.

The police currently assume that the attack this morning was a dispute between acquaintances in the homeless community and not a shooting spree, said the police spokesman.

According to the information available so far, the suspected attacker slightly injured a 43-year-old woman and seriously injured a 32-year-old man with a knife on the street in Bonn, but not life-threateningly. Both were treated by rescue workers and then taken to hospital. A helicopter was also used in the search for the perpetrator.
