Mannheim's mayor has described the incident as "abhorrent and "inhumane" in a statement posted on the city government's website. "Our thoughts are with the dead and injured, their families and friends," Mayor Christian Specht says. Carnival events planned for tomorrow in the nearby suburbs of Feudenheim, Neckarau and Sandhofen have been cancelled. A market has been closed and a street carnival in the city centre will not take place, according to the statement. As a reminder, outdoor carnivals linked to Easter celebrations are held across Germany at this time of year. SNIP
