At least 2 dead and 60 hurt after a car drives into a German Christmas market in a suspected attack

Emergency services attend an incident at the Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, Friday Dec. 20, 2024.

The suspect is a 50-year-old Saudi doctor who moved to Germany in 2006, Tamara Zieschang, the interior minister for the state of Saxony-Anhalt, said at a news conference. He has been practicing medicine in Bernburg, about 23 miles south of Magdeburg, she said. Haseloff said the two people confirmed to have died were an adult and a toddler, but that he couldn’t rule out further deaths.

German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said late last month that there were no concrete indications of a danger to Christmas markets this year, but that it was wise to be vigilant. Magdeburg resident Dorin Steffen told German news agency dpa that she was at a concert in a nearby church when she heard the sirens. The cacophony was so loud “you had to assume that something terrible had happened.”“We are shaking,” Steffen said. “Full of sympathy for the relatives, also in the hope that nothing has happened to our relatives, friends and acquaintances.”
