The perpetrator of the deadly truck attack on the Christmas market in Berlin may have acquired the gun he used to hijack a vehicle in Switzerland, German media reported.
The German Police Union (DPolG) Chairman Rainer Wendt said that the police union supports the initiative prepared by the Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU) that includes tightening of border control, increase of police's powers and video surveillance among other measures following the attack on a Berlin Christmas market.
