In what may be the second vehicle-based terrorist attack in Germany in as many months, moments ago the AP and local press reported that according to German police a man rammed his car into a pedestrian area in a central square in the city of Heidelberg, injuring three people, then fled armed with a knife, and was subsequently shot after being tracked down by officers. Police spokesperson Anne Baas said one of the three people hit outside a bakery on Saturday afternoon was seriously injured. „Medien: Noch gibt es weder Alter oder Herkunft des https://twitter.com/hashtag/Heidelberg?src=hash!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");-Täters, aber schon vollständige Psychoanalysen.“ https://t.co/m1zwfp2PM9 — Hannes Kirmse ?
