   BERLIN –  Berlin police shot and wounded a 53-year-old Austrian man   
   who allegedly waved a knife inside the cathedral in the center of the   
   German capital Sunday, a police spokesman said.   
      
   There was no immediate indication the man's reported actions were   
   linked to terrorism, Berlin police spokesman Winfrid Wenzel said. The   
   dpa news agency quoted police as saying the man appeared to be   
   confused.   
      
   Wenzel said the incident began when the man entered the Berliner Dom   
   and waved a knife in the area of the altar. Cathedral employees called   
   police, and dozens of people were evacuated from the holy site.   
      
   One of the two officers responding to the call opened fire, wounding   
   the man, Wenzel said. The second officer also was inadvertently   
   wounded by the shot or shots fired by his colleague, Berlin police   
   said.   
      
   Both the suspect and the police officer were taken to a hospital. Dpa   
   says the officer is in serious condition.   
      
   The area around the cathedral is typically crowded with tourists and   
   visitors, particularly on Sunday. A Sunday evening prayer service at   
   the church was canceled.
