Man drives van in crowd in Germany... and No, he wasn't a Muslim [View all]

http://www.tagesschau.de/inland/vorfall-muenster-101.html

A 48 yo local man, german, known to his family for minor mental problems and known to police for minor crimes.

He shot homself after driving into a crowd in the german city Muenster. 2 dead, 20 wounded. Police found in the van a gun and fireworks of a type known to be weak explosives. There were weird cables running through the van.

In his apartment, police found more fireworks and a disarmed, non-functional AK47.



I'm posting this, bc within minutes there were rumors on the Internet that it was a Muslim.
