German police opened fire on a “suspicious person” near a Nazi documentation centre in the southern city of Munich on Thursday.
The man was hit, according to police, and the area was cordoned off around Karolinenplatz, a short distance from the Israeli consulate.
Bavarian police said there were no indications of any other suspects and they appealed to the public not to post images of the incident on social media.
People were told to avoid the area and those in nearby residential or office buildings were urged to stay inside. A police helicopter circled over the area immediately afterwards.
Police said they were working to “clarify” the situation and warned against speculation.
