Benjamin Franklin Hospital Campus
A doctor was critically injured in the shooting and taken to intensive care where he was later pronounced dead.
Local media reported the shooting took place at a fourth floor dental surgery where the doctor was a senior physician.
After the shooting, the gunman then killed himself, Berlin Police said.
German newspaper Bild reported an anti-terrorist unit and special police task force were sent to the scene.

Bild reported witnesses heard several shots and some staff were told to stay in their rooms and lock the doors.
But police said this afternoon there were "no signs at all" of a terrorist link to the shooting and there was no evidence of any other injured people or perpetrators.
Today’s shooting follows a spate of violent incidents in Bavaria which have shaken Germany.
On Sunday, a failed asylum seeker who pledged allegiance to Isis blew himself up after being turned away from a music festival in Ansbach, injuring 12 people.
That attack came after a shooting massacre in Munich on Friday and an Isis-inspired axe rampage on board a train in Wuerzburg two days earlier.
