Today around 16:30 local time a twentyone year old syrian refugee killed one woman and injured two people using a machete around the central bus station in Reutlingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
He was ran over by a BMW driver, as he was about to attack a group of people on the other side of the road, heavily injured and arrested shortly after.
There are no reports of him screaming anything related to islamistic extremism, so please don't jump to conclusions.
The perpetrator was known to the police, for several criminal offenses, and a islamistic motive can't be excluded.
This incident, as the one in Munich, concerns me personally since I have family in Reutlingen and friends of mine witnessed the attack (none injured).
Edit: Police just stated that there's no evidence of an islamistic motive as of now. It was reported that the perpetrator had a dispute with the woman in the döner shop where it started. The machete indicates a certain degree of planning though.
