Dörthe Hein/DPA via APBERLIN — A car plowed into a busy outdoor Christmas market in the eastern German city of Magdeburg on Friday, leaving at least one person dead and injuring at least 50 others in what authorities suspect was an attack.
Regional government spokesperson Matthias Schuppe and city spokesperson Michael Reif said they suspected it was a deliberate act."The pictures are terrible," Reif said."My information is that a car drove into the Christmas market visitors, but I can't yet say from what direction and how far."Magdeburg's University Hospital said it was taking care of 10 to 20 patients but was preparing for more, dpa reported.
"This is a terrible event, particularly now in the days before Christmas," Saxony-Anhalt governor Reiner Haseloff said. Haseloff told dpa that he was on his way to Magdeburg but couldn't immediately give any information on victims or what was behind the incident.
