德國慕尼黑警方在市內的以色列領事館附近與一名男子爆發槍戰,涉事男子被警員擊斃。事發當天正值1972年慕尼黑奧運會襲擊事件的52周年紀念日,初步調查顯示,槍手是一名18歲的奧地利籍男子,當局正調查犯案動機。有報道指槍手與伊斯蘭極端主義有聯繫,遭列入監察名單,襲擊疑與紀念日有關。
事發在當地周四早上9時許,警員在以色列領事和納粹歷史博物館附近的街區,看到一名男子下車後攜帶一把舊式步槍,雙方爆發槍戰,槍手交火期間中槍,當場傷重不治,事件中沒其他人受傷。德國內政部長費澤爾形容事件嚴重,強調當務之急是要保護好以色列機構。18歲的疑兇居於奧地利,無證據顯示他有同黨,正調查其犯案動機。
慕尼黑1972年夏季奧運發生槍擊案,巴勒斯坦激進組織「黑色九月」的武裝份子襲擊以色列代表團,導致以色列代表團11人死亡。
