A man attacked several people in the eastern German state of Saxony-Anhalt, including at a private party to mark the opening of the Euro 2024 soccer tournament, German media reported on Saturday.
The police said the attacker had initially stabbed a young man in the town of Wolmirstedt, a town of 12,000 people north of Magdeburg, who later died of his injuries.
Germany's DPA news agency cited police as saying the attacker — a 27-year-old Afghan national — then rushed through a nearby allotment, threatening people with a "knife-like object."
He then entered the property where the party was taking place to watch the Germany vs Scotland match and stabbed attendees at random. Three people were injured.
The attack happened a few minutes after kick-off in the Group A game, police said.
Injured said to be in a serious condition
Two of the injured, a 50-year-old and a 75-year-old man, are wounded badly, police said.
A 56-year-old man was slightly hurt.
The assailant was later shot dead by police.
The police said the man approached officers as they arrived at the scene and "firearms were used."
The perpetrator "died in hospital" from gunshot wounds, the police added.

You know it just HAS to be asked! Why did the police shoot the dead man?
Darn it! You beat me to it!
I was going to add: (Sounds just like the German cops, right? They stand pumping rounds into a corpse when the attacker scampers away!)
I’m getting the feeling that in Europe you don’t need to look either, but for different reasons.
Lol, I was just going to post the same thing :-)
who are these idiots writing this stuff...
“You know it just HAS to be asked! Why did the police shoot the dead man?”
Because they couldn’t shoot his dog!
It’s always them boo boo.
At least the assailant is dead … which is about the only good point in this report. Thank you Angela Merkel.
Evidently a degree in Journalism can be purchased online....
It will radicalize 100 more of these savages. A martyr for the cause!
Did the German police shoot a dead man or did the shoot a man dead?
Possibilities:
The rest of the story...
“I was sick, and besides, up to that point, I kept worrying about the fact that I had been wearing this gun that I had never drawn. So, I said to Steven, ‘Why don’t we just shoot the sumbitch?’ He said, ‘Okay.’ He was ready to get out of there too. That’s how we got that scene.”

The title of the article does a good job of burying the lede.
How culturally insensitive of them to shoot a man celebrating Eid-al-Adha by going Jihad. Where is their religious tolerance?
(Saxony Anhalt - they aren’t decadent like those West Germans. AdF ran about twice as strong there as they did in nationwide in the recent elections. I think they may have come in first in that state, with about a third of the total vote.)
What did the man die of? Vax?
It’s a common Britishism you often see in the Daily Mail, but in this case, the article was sourced from the German “Deutsche Welle (DW).” DW is Germany’s international broadcaster and one of the most successful international media outlets.
Looks like the Germans learned their English from the Brits. Or, more likely, they hired some Brit writers.
“Because they couldn’t shoot his dog!”
LOLOL...you win, Megan!
“Dead man was eating brains.”
LOLOL...you just can’t be too sure, can you, when the apocalypse is nigh?
