German police: Muenster van driver acted alone

The German news agency dpa is quoting police as saying that that the driver who crashed his van into a crowd in the western German city of Muenster had no accomplices.

 

The 48-year-old German man killed two people and injured 20 others Saturday before shooting himself to death in the van.

 

Witnesses of Saturday's crash had initially said they'd seen two other perpetrators flee the van after it crashed into a crowd outside the city's traditional Kiepenkerl pub in the city's medieval old town.

 

The driver of the van was not identified by name. Authorities are still clueless about his motives and said they're investigating in all possible directions.

 

Local media have described the 48-year-old as a psychologically unstable man.
