The suspect in the Berlin Pride attack, Abdul Ballout, was shot dead by police after a confrontation in a suburb of the German capital on Sunday. Authorities said the operation ended a search that had lasted nearly 24 hours after the violence in downtown Berlin.
According to the information released so far, the attack left one person dead and 29 others injured. The incident drew a major police response as investigators worked to locate the man believed to be responsible.
Prosecutors identified Ballout as a German citizen with Lebanese roots. They also said he had previously tried to join the militant Islamic State group, a detail that has led authorities to describe him as an ISIS-linked suspect.
The killing of the suspect brings the manhunt to a close, but the Berlin Pride attack is likely to remain under close investigation as officials continue piecing together the circumstances, the suspect's background and any possible extremist connections.
