a van drives into a crowd of people obviously right away think about what happened on the christmas market a bright child rights in berlin or other horrible attacks for example in spain in barcelona i do have the feeling that people tonight and i are a little bit relieved that it seems that all of this was not related to terrorism but we have to remember today was one of the first three. days here of this year we have had a very cold winter in germany today temperatures between sixteen and twenty degrees many people were outside they just wanted to in joy their afternoon and then all of this happened this afternoon at three thirty pm also i can tell you that still big parts of the city are actually still locked down many people still cannot return to their homes so yes still a very i guess also a warrior the atmosphere here right now in the city so security is tight and parts

of the city are still on lockdown what are the next steps that the police could take in this investigation daniel. well the last statement official statement we got from the police is about one hour ago we're hearing that they were looking closer at the vehicle trying to find out if there would be any kind of explosive if in there we are learning but this has not been yet confirmed by the police that apparently no explosives were found in the car only some fireworks that you would use on new year's eve also we are hearing that the apartment off suspect here apparently is called here and are he was born in one thousand nine hundred sixteen and nine in the german sauerland region here in the same state and that apparently but also as i say had not yet confirmed that

apparently kalashnikov was found in a support run so there's still a raid investigation going on at his apartment that is apparently close to the central station here in the city of them and so there are plenty of reports coming out and lots of information is trickling out about this story and of course we are waiting to verify a lot of that information but some he were is will the reminds us of the burning christmas market attack in twenty sixteen however authorities of course have ruled days an islamist mosts but what could have driven the suspects to such an extreme attack in minster. you know all of this is also not clear that we are hearing and learning that apparently the suspect has had mentally problems in the past german media also reporting tonight that apparently in march he was stating to family members and friends that he was thinking about
