Between 60 and 80 people have been injured, according to a spokesperson for the local rescue service, as reported by AFP as officials continue to investigate the incident.
Several of the injured are said to be in critical condition, and multiple reports citing the German public broadcaster MDR, said at least two people had been killed, one of the two reportedly a child.
Everyone seems to be considering it an attack... (and yes, I get it) but I keep feeling it to be a disease.
He seemed coherent and physically capable at arrest so I doubt it was anything like a stroke, epilepsy or anything like that.
The information coming out doesn't point to religious extremist terrorism.
Disease of the mind could make sense. Weird, I was just reading about the Lufthansa crash that happened in the Alps before checking the news. Medical information in Germany is highly confidential or at least used to be... This kind of stuff would be his bread and butter.
People will jump to terrorism, I've had the debate a few times around it's definition and the link with psychotic individuals. Hardly the time though.
Rip to the victims, hopefully the number stays at 2 and the injured make speedy recoveries.
