German police fatally shot an armed man near the Israeli consulate and a Nazi history museum in Munich on Thursday, marking the 52nd anniversary of the 1972 Munich Olympic massacre. The suspect, carrying a 'long gun,' was neutralized after an exchange of fire around 9 a.m. in the Karolinenplatz area, with no other suspects or injuries reported. The consulate was closed at the time for a memorial event, and no staff or museum employees were harmed. The incident has prompted increased police presence in Munich, although authorities have not established a direct connection to the anniversary. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser emphasized the priority of protecting Jewish and Israeli facilities amidst rising antisemitism in Europe.
