Police in Germany say Abdul Ballout, the suspect in a deadly attack near Berlin's Pride festival, was shot and killed by officers Sunday after a nearly 24-hour manhunt.
Authorities said Ballout, a German citizen with Lebanese roots, was found in Berlin's Spandau district around 6 p.m. local time. According to Berlin police, he allegedly ran toward officers with a sharp instrument and was fatally shot at the scene.
Officials believe Ballout drove a van into people near the festival's closing celebrations Saturday night before allegedly attacking others with a machete in what Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt described as an Islamic extremist terror attack.
