Several people, including a police officer, were injured in a shooting early on Tuesday at a Munich subway station, police said.
Munich police said in a tweet that the policewoman’s injuries were serious and that the suspect was in custody.
The shooting occurred during a morning police check at the Unterfoehring subway station, Munich police spokesman Michael Riehlein said.
“There is no danger to the public,” said a police spokeswoman.
Bavarian public radio, citing police, reported that “it was probably not a terrorist attack”.
Munich’s Merkur newspaper has reported that witnesses said the suspect took a police officer’s pistol and shot her, and also injured others at the scene.
