BERLIN, July 26 (Xinhua) -- Two people were killed in a shooting at a clinic in Berlin on Tuesday.

A gunman killed himself after shooting a doctor at the clinic in southwestern Berlin on Tuesday afternoon, local police said.

The doctor was seriously injured and died later despite intensive medical care.

"No evidence of other injured people and more perpetrators" was found, according to the police. The gunman was a patient of the clinic.

Security forces have arrived at the clinic and controlled the situation. There is no danger at the location, said the police, asking the public not to speculate and spread rumors.

"We have currently no evidence of a terrorist background indeed," the police said. Investigation was ongoing.

Germany was shocked by four violent attacks within last week in southern part of the country.

On Sunday, a 27-year-old Syrian blew himself up and wounded 15 people outside a music festival in Ansbach, a city in southern German state of Bavaria.

It happened just hours after a 21-year-old Syrian refugee killed a pregnant Polish woman and injured two people with a machete in Reutlingen, a city in Baden-Wuerttemberg.
