SHOTS were fired during the Italy-Albania match in Germany tonight and left one seriously injured, according to reports.
A man was stuck by at least one bullet in the Berlin district of Moabit, as cops launch an urgent manhunt for the gunman, as reported by the Bild.
It is understood hundreds of riot police officers armed with submachines have been deployed to search for the suspect.
Some witnesses claimed the attack was sparked by a brawl between football fans during the Italy-Albania match, but this is unconfirmed.
It is not known yet if the victims or the suspect were spectators attending the game.
Italians had beaten Albania 2:1 in the Euros match in Dortmund today.
It comes after German cops shot dead a knifeman who attacked a group of football fans at a Euros garden party on Friday.
The supporters were enjoying their first game against Scotland when the assailant came into their backyard just minutes after kick-off.
Officers were called to a single-family home on Genossenschaftsweg in Wolmirstedt, near Magdeburg in Saxony-Anhalt around 9.30pm.
Police shot the attacker at the scene after he ran towards the officers to attack them.
“Firearms were used,” a police spokesperson told Bild on Saturday morning.
“The perpetrator died in hospital.”
German police have also raised concerns over potential clashes at England’s Euro opener against Serbia.
Three Lions fans have been told to yell the code word “Panama” if they’re in danger.
Cops are bracing themselves for violence at the curtain raiser clash amid security threats from the dreaded Serbian ultra groups.
The competition organisers told fans who feel “unsafe” or “threatened” at Sunday’s powder-keg match to say “Wo geht’s nach [Which way to] Panama?” or simply “Panama”.
Any police or staff members who hear the code word have to immediately offer a “place of retreat”, The Telegraph reports.
There will also be a specialist Panama team at the games who are “a multilingual, multi-professional team trained in crisis intervention, non-violent communication and de-escalation”.
