German Christmas market attack: What we know

At least five people were killed and 200 injured after a man drove a car into a bustling outdoor Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, on Friday night. The number of victims in the attack, which police have said was deliberate, has shaken the European nation. Prosecutors said Saturday that a 9-year-old is among the fatalities, according to German news outlet Deutsche Welle. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz told reporters Saturday that nearly 40 of the wounded are critically injured.

A clinic in Bernburg, about 30 miles south of Magdeburg, confirmed to NBC News that the suspect was employed as a psychiatry specialist but had not worked since October due to “vacation and illness.” Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said Saturday that the man was “clearly Islamophobic,” but police have not yet determined a motive. Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry condemned the attack in a statement that did not mention the suspect’s nationality. U.S.
