“This is a terrible event, particularly now in the days before Christmas,” Saxony-Anhalt Gov. Reiner Haseloff said.

Emergency services attend an incident at the Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, Friday Dec. 20, 2024. BERLIN — A car plowed into a busy outdoor Christmas market in the eastern German city of Magdeburg on Friday, killing at least two people and injuring at least 68 others in what authorities suspect was an attack.

At least two people were killed and 68 were injured, including 15 who were hurt very seriously, according to government officials and the city government’s website. It said 37 people had injuries of medium severity and 16 were lightly injured. Magdeburg’s University Hospital said it was taking care of 10 to 20 patients but was preparing for more, dpa reported.

Chancellor OIaf Scholz posted on X: “My thoughts are with the victims and their relatives. We stand beside them and beside the people of Magdeburg.” 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.Renck: Sean Payton gets greedy at end of first half, and Broncos' playoff bid gets struck by lightningACLU sues Colorado school district over removal of "highly sensitive" library books
