GERMAN police have launched a major operation to find the perpetrators of a Berlin shooting that left four people seriously injured on Saturday morning.
Heavily armed officers and a helicopter unit were deployed to the German capital’s Kreuzberg district where the violent incident occurred early on Saturday morning.
