Police officers found the 51-year-old man standing behind his car, Franz-Dieter Ankner told parliamentarians at a special meeting of the Interior Committee of the western state of Rhineland-Palatinate. “He looked at the emergency services with a grin,” said Ankner.
Police officers immediately arrested W. The man is charged with murder, attempted murder and serious bodily harm. He had been drinking.
The prosecution says he intended to “kill or at least injure as many people as possible.”
The man’s motive remains unclear.
