That's all I know so far, anyone know more. I will edit as soon as can.

BBC-A van is reported to have driven into pedestrians in the city of Muenster, in Germany.

Local police have confirmed there are deaths and injuries, but have not said how many.

Ok, the story changed again, it was initially 3 dead + driver, now it's 2 dead + driver. Again, take everything within 72 hours of an event as suspect: the police will throw out their initial biases as fact, the press will report that bias, and for ~72 hours we'll be getting a lot information we later learn was false.

Two victims are dead 20 injured. For those politicizing the incident, the van owner shot himself to death.

This thread broke some records with regard to the number of reports it received, so all derailment, insinuations, accusations etc have been removed.

Does anyone have a motive yet? Or even associates of the driver?

No motive has come up as AFAIK.

But he was a troubled individual with a history of issues.

Quote:
had a history of run-ins with the law and had expressed suicidal thoughts to a neighbor last month


Quote:
The picture painted by police showed the suspect as a Muenster resident who was apparently financially well off but was frequently at odds with authorities and in court often. Local media reported that he is an industrial designer who once threatened his father with an ax.

....

His run-ins with the law regarded threats, property damage, fraud, a hit-and-run and domestic conflicts with his family, but all charges were dismissed.
