The shooting took place outside a Turkish comedy show at the Tempodrom, a concert venue with a 3,500-seat capacity.
German media reports that the deceased man was 42 years of age, while some of those injured are believed to be in a serious condition.
Police have said they suspect the involvement of several people, although the shooter or shooters fled the scene. An investigation is underway, although a spokesperson said on Saturday morning that there “is no further information” about the incident.

A total of 200 officers were deployed on scene after the shooting. People attending the show were required to leave through back and side doors.
