A van ramming at Berlin Pride killed one person and triggered a manhunt, according to multiple reports. Unverified claims describe a subsequent machete attack, additional injuries, and an Islamist suspect, while an activist response attributing blame to white Christian men has drawn commentary across perspectives.
