Knife attack in Munich: Police shoots after brutal assault!

Theresienwiese, München, Deutschland - yesterday, on June 7, 2025, there was a shocking incident in Munich that arouses memories of similar tragic events. In a supermarket near Theresienwiese, a 30-year-old woman rioted and was perceived as threatening. According to information from Merkur , the situation cooked after a short stay Police office, with a kitchen knife in Westendstrasse a 56-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman.

The police were then alerted and put the woman at St. Paul's place. Despite clear threats from their side, the police decided to use their service weapon and fatally scored the attacker. Tragically, the woman later succumbed to her injuries in the hospital. The background and the motif of their attacks are still unclear, but eyewitnesses describe them as "very inconspicuous".

memories of past incidents

This incident is strongly reminiscent of a similar case from August 2024, when a woman had also attacked a knife in a supermarket and was shot down by the police. Many in the community are shaken by this repeated violence escalation, including the pastor of the nearby church, which speaks of a "shocking experience". The police station has already started investigations to clarify how many shots have been handed over and in which context the weapon was used.

In the incident, there was also a relatively positive news: the injured people had to be treated on an outpatient basis, but fortunately they suffered no serious injuries. The Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann congratulated the officers for quick intervention, while at the same time the demands are louder that patrol police officers should also be equipped with Tasern in order to be able to react more appropriately in such dangerous situations.

requirement for better equipment

In German cities, the concerns about the use of firearms, especially after the alarming figures from 2023, in which four people in Bavaria died from police force - the highest number since 1997. The state association of the German Police Union also receives that police officers have access to electric shock devices such as the Taser. In view of the aggressive and often mentally stressed attackers, this is considered necessary.

Nevertheless, the use of Tasern is not unproblematic. According to a report by Amnesty International , there have been at least ten deaths in Germany since 2021 that have been connected with the use of teasers. These devices are often misused and can cause serious injuries in non -violent people. There is also a large -scale global call for regulations and controls in dealing with such police technologies.

The discussions about the correct use of such operations and the use of violence in general will surely take on speed in the near future, while the city and the police authorities are looking for solutions to prevent further events.
