A man has been charged with five counts of murder and 205 counts of attempted murder after a man drove a car into a German Christmas market.
Officials report that the attack in the city of Magdeburg has left five people dead, with over 200 people injured and 41 “severely injured.”
Chancellor Olaf Scholz will attend a vigil this evening at Johanniskirche (St John’s Church), with tributes already being laid at the scene.
