Authorities reported that a handgun was fired during a police operation at an S-Bahn station in Unterfoehring, a northeastern suburb of the Bavarian city, and that the scene was now secured.
Munich police spokesman Michael Riehlein said that the incident occurred this morning when police were carrying out a check at the Unterfoehring subway station.
He says during the check a weapon was fired but could not immediately say whether it was fired by police or by a suspect. Riehlein says there is no danger to the wider public.
