A vehicle mowed into a crowd of people on Saturday in the German city of Münster, killing several people, according to local authorities.

Police reported several “dead and injured” and warned the situation is still “unclear.” The perpetrator committed suicide, police confirmed.

Driver committed suicide, reports 30 injured, probable some killed,very little information.

Update from firefighters- injured now at 50 -3 dead
 
That sucks. I'm guessing it wasn't an accident, due to the suicide.

News reports unconfirmed if there was or was not an accomplice??
Up to 4 dead, 6 critical

Probably fitting that this happened in Germany. It was their leader who demanded taking in all those "refugees".

Assuming it was a terrorist attack, I'm sure the perpetrator would agree with your assessment.

since he committed suicide it will be hard to ask him.

Considering no details on the attacker have been released.
 
My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone there.

Now, it looks like some vetting would have kept this guy out of the country. This is why you can't just let everybody who wants to, to stroll into your country, willy-nilly, without knowing who they are and what their intentions are. This clown should have never been allowed in.

Anis Amri, a failed Tunisian asylum seeker with Islamist links, hijacked a truck, killed the driver and then ploughed it into the crowded marketplace, killing 11 more people and injuring dozens of others.

You're referencing a different attack in Sweden. From your own link:

"The driver shot himself dead inside the van said Andreas Bode, a spokesman for the police.

He said the driver’s identity was not yet known."
...
"The incident came one year to the day after a truck attack in Stockholm killed five people, and has evoked memories of a truck attack in Berlin that killed 12 people in December 2016.

I sure was. My mistake. Same point applies, probably.

Very classy. :roll:
 
In terms of motive, I doubt it's a coincidence that it occurred on the 1 yr anniversary of a similar attack in Sweden.

First reports talk about a German with mental problems ...

Haven't you heard? Mental problems are only relevant if you're white. We haven't found out if he's European or not yet. First things first.

Looks to be a German National.

Officials have not announced the van driver's identity or motive, but multiple German outlets reported that the suspect was a 48-year-old German man named Jens R.
One German news agency said the suspect had connections to the right-wing extremist scene, though there is no current indication that the suspect himself was an extremist.
"Our thoughts are with the victims and their families," a spokeswoman for German Chancellor Angela Merkel said.

Just edited my post. Perhaps they knew you jumped to your usual conclusions

If this was intentional, it's a continuation of the never-ending inhumanity that we as a species are drowning in.
