Gunshots and helicopters in Mitte?

Don't worry, we found out they were firecrackers, not gunshots. But they sounded pretty scary nonetheless. Must have been some big firecrackers.

For the past hour we've heard sirens, lots of people, lots of explosions, and a circling (probably news) helicopter. Our English neighbors one building over went out to explore, but Juliya and I stayed right where we were, and Juliya asked Reddit if anyone knew what was going on. Google Translate the following articles about it (or read it in German, if that's your thing):
