One killed and several injured in suspected car ramming in Mannheim, Germany
An 83-year-old woman and a 54-year-old man were killed and several more people were injured Monday in a suspected car ramming in the west German city of Mannheim, officials said.
A suspect was identified and arrested, Mannheim police said in a statement. A spokesperson for the state interior ministry in Stuttgart said the suspect is a 40-year-old German man who lives in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Police said at this time "it is not assumed that there is a political background."
The attack happened around 12:15 p.m local time. Five people were seriously injured, police said in a news release. Five others suffered minor injuries. They were all taken to different hospitals.
A major police operation was underway and people were urged to avoid the city center, which has been busy due to an ongoing carnival season. The Mannheimer Morgan newspaper spoke to an eyewitness who saw a car drive into several pedestrians.
