MAGDEBURG, Germany (AP) — A 9-year-old was among five people killed when a Saudi doctor intentionally drove into a Christmas market teeming with holiday shoppers in the German city of Magdeburg, an official said Saturday.

MAGDEBURG, Germany — A 9-year-old was among five people killed when a Saudi doctor intentionally drove into a Christmas market teeming with holiday shoppers in the German city of Magdeburg, an official said Saturday.

“There is no more peaceful and cheerful place than a Christmas market,” Chancellor Olaf Scholz said. “What a terrible act it is to injure and kill so many people there with such brutality.” Several German media outlets identified the suspect as Taleb A., withholding his last name in line with privacy laws, and reported that he was a specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy.

He also accused German authorities of failing to do enough to combat what he said was the “Islamism of Europe.”The violence shocked Germany and the city, bringing its mayor to the verge of tears and marring a festive event that’s part of a centuries-old German tradition. It prompted several other German towns to cancel their weekend Christmas markets as a precaution and out of solidarity with Magdeburg’s loss. Berlin kept its markets open but has increased its police presence at them.

Chancellor Scholz and Interior Minister Nancy Faeser traveled to Magdeburg on Saturday, and a memorial service is to take place in the city cathedral in the evening. Faeser ordered flags lowered to half-staff at federal buildings across the country.Verified bystander footage distributed by the German news agency dpa showed the suspect’s arrest at a tram stop in the middle of the road.
