Car Rams Crowd in Leipzig: Two Killed, Several in Critical Condition
At least two people were killed and several others critically injured after a car drove into bystanders in downtown Leipzig, Germany, on Monday. Emergency responders confirmed two deaths at the scene and at least three victims with life-threatening injuries. Around 20 more were reported as affected. Police arrested the 33-year-old German suspect, who no longer poses a threat and is now in custody. Authorities have opened proceedings on two counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder. Officials are investigating the incident as deliberate and are exploring possible mental health factors. The city’s mayor described the scene as shocking, and police used social media to urge residents to keep emergency routes clear. This tragedy follows a series of vehicle-ramming attacks in Germany in recent years, including incidents in Mannheim and last year’s Christmas market attack in Magdeburg.
