German police shot and killed a 21-year-old man named Abdul Ballout on Sunday in Spandau, Berlin. Ballout was wanted for driving a van into a crowd and stabbing people during a Pride celebration near Brandenburg Gate on Saturday. One woman died, and 29 others were hurt, with several people in serious condition.

Police say Ballout was a German citizen with Lebanese family background. He was known to the security services for earlier extremist behaviour and had once tried to travel to Syria to join the group known as Islamic State. Officials believe his actions were linked to his radical views.

The police found Ballout after a 24-hour search. When they tried to arrest him, he attacked them with a knife, and police shot him. Berlin’s mayor said he was relieved the suspect was found quickly.
