Driver kills himself after ploughing vehicle into crowd leaving at least two dead

At least two people have been killed and 26 injured after a vehicle ploughed into pedestrians in the German city of Münster, with police confirming that the driver of the vehicle has also killed himself.

Police said the driver, named locally as 48-year-old German national Jens Handeln, shot himself dead after ramming into the crowd, but they could not immediately determine his motive.

According to a report by Süddeutsche Zeitung, the German newspaper, Handeln has a history of mental health issues.

Police spokesman, Andreas Bode, said it was “too soon” to call the incident a deliberate attack.
