- Lethal gunfire in SEK locale, potential self-defense involvement presumed.
The Authorities are handling the lethal shootout during a special operation in Berlin's Nikolassee district as a self-defense situation. As per the Berlin Public Prosecutor's Office, their spokesperson Sebastian Büchner, the individual in question started firing when the special forces entered his cramped dwelling.
Based on Büchner's account, the special forces let loose 19 rounds, a majority of which struck the 46-year-old. The postmortem examination revealed at least 12 bullets within his body.

"The origin of the weapon and the funds for it is now under investigation," Büchner stated.
Incident at a Camper Site Sparks Special Operation
As per the police and the Public Prosecutor's Office, the 46-year-old is suspected of threatening a 49-year-old man at a camper site on Potsdamer Chaussee on Saturday morning. The victim was able to scare off the aggressor and dial the authorities. He also trailed the Berliner and spotted him entering a multi-family building in Dreilindenstraße. Law enforcement identified him using CCTV footage, as remarked by Büchner. Since he refused to open the door, the special forces broke it down.

Despite the ongoing investigation into the source of the weapon, it'sclear that the 46-year-old had access to an 'Other' type of firearm aside from the recognized pneumatic revolver. The incident at the camper site raised concerns about the individual's possession of 'Other' potentially dangerous weapons.
