I had this exchange with Microsoft Co-Pilot, the Bing AI (right...) chat bot:

What is the name of muslim who killed german police officer?
Copilot
The police officer who tragically lost his life during the anti-Islam rally in Germany was not killed by a Muslim. Instead, the assailant was a knife-wielding man who attacked and wounded several people on the market square in the city of Mannheim. The officer, a 29-year-old, was repeatedly stabbed while trying to intervene. Unfortunately, he succumbed to his injuries after undergoing emergency surgery and being placed in an artificial coma1. The attacker’s motive has not been confirmed yet, but if it turns out to be Islamist-related, it underscores the ongoing need to combat Islamist terror. Germany has been on high alert for possible Islamist attacks, especially since the outbreak of the war between Israel and Hamas.

If you don’t know the name, how do you know the knife wielder was not a Muslim?

Cut off the last part:
You
You say your intention was not to make assumptions or conclusions, but stating “..not a muslim” is in fact an assumption and a conclusion.
