At least one person is dead after a car was driven into a crowd of people in Mannheim, Germany. At least two dozen people were injured in the attack, as well.

“So far, we can give no more information about the number and severity of the injuries,” the local police force said, per The Times. “During the manhunt, which was initiated immediately, we were able to identify and detain a suspect.”

According to The Times, the driver is believed to be a German citizen and was taken to a hospital for treatment. There’s no information available yet about his motive.

Three victims, two adults and a child, were admitted to Mannheim University Hospital with a "high level of urgency.”

So far...at 7 PM German time....guy is still a 41-year-old native German from Pfalz state. What is noted so far....his first name is ‘Ali’ (published ID card noted in social media). Either he is a German-Turk, or acquired citizenship in the past couple of years.

That doesn't mean much, since every goat-humper that's entered Germany in the past 10 years is probably automatically considered a "citizen" by their suicidal government.

Usually it’s the second-generation that becomes radicalized.

“Was the driver screaming allah Akbar?”

That would be my guess.

Well at least we know the motive.

He was suffering from mental illness.

That will be in this afternoon’s story.
