The driver opened fire as well.

Do we have anything re: motive? That can't be random.

Zip all. This is all very recent. Not sure they've got the attacker. The fact there appeared to be a shooting on top of the ramming suggests it was far from random.

Coming just a few weeks after the German market attack it's hardly surprising that's there's a 'follow up'.

It's really grim.

Follow up to what?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Follow up to what?

I think I meant COPYCAT ATTACK.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

To be honest whatever the motive it's still a cunt driving a car into a crowd.

Apparently the suspect is now dead

How surprising and, indeed, without precedent...

This is VAGUE:

The statement adds that the person then "engaged with local law enforcement and is now deceased".

Possible connection to ISIS I've read.

Surely if you want to do maximum damage, you’d do it closer to midnight rather than 3 hours later?

Hi, MI5/MI6 (I can never remember the difference), Ellie is a LONE AGENT, and Moopy is a GAY CHAT LONGE, not a TERRORIST CELL, even if we do support Luigi, but that's because he's HOT as well as RIGHT

No one:

Ellie after a terrorist atrocity: Actually I would’ve done it like this

Maybe the police presence winds down after a certain point...
