Seeing as how anti-terrorism police were spotted on the scene, odds are this was another terrorist attack.

[Update: Police are now claiming it was not terrorism related, sadly they can't be trusted and we'll have to wait until more information comes out to actually be sure.]

From RT:

A doctor has been shot at a hospital in the German capital Berlin, according to police. The gunman later shot and killed himself.

The incident took place at a clinic at Charité University's Benjamin Franklin campus, located in the Steglitz district, in the city's southwest.

Berlin’s police department has released a statement saying the doctor is critically injured and currently being treated in an intensive care unit.

There are unconfirmed reports from Bild that the doctor is a senior dental surgeon.

The shooting took place at around 11:00 GMT. An anti-terrorist unit is at the scene, and the main building has been evacuated, according to the Bild newspaper.

Der Arzt wurde nach ersten Erkenntnissen lebensgefährlich verletzt & befindet sich in intensivmedizinischer Behandlung. Weitere Infos folgen

The Benjamin Franklin Clinic is part of one of Europe’s largest hospitals. It was formed following the merger of the Freie Universitat Berlin and Humboldt Universitat and there are four locations around the city.
