Softair Gun Shots Fired at Pride Participants in Berlin

Several individuals were shot with a softair gun during the Christopher Street Day (CSD) event in Berlin, according to police. Four CSD participants sustained minor injuries but declined medical treatment, as reported by the police on platform X.

Additionally, two officers were shot at from an apartment on Courbièrestraße in the Schöneberg district, though they were not hit. The police located the apartment in question and cordoned off the sidewalk in front of the building.

Berlin's Christopher Street Day is the name for Berlin Pride, an annual festival and demonstration for LGBTQ+ rights, equality and visibility. It is both a political protest and a festive parade, usually held at the end of July and is one of the largest Pride events in Europe.
