At least three people were killed and 20 others were injured Saturday after a van drove into a crowd of pedestrians in front of a popular bar in the German city of Muenster, police said.
The driver of the van shot himself to death following the crash, police spokesman Andreas Bode told reporters. The driver’s identity was not immediately known.
Police said they were investigating reports that other perpetrators may have fled the crash.
Officers said a suspicious object was found inside the van and they were still investigating what it is and if it is dangerous. Police said the main reason the area was cordoned off was due to the suspicious object.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she is “deeply shocked by the terrible events in Muenster.”
Merkel said in a statement, “Everything conceivable is being done to investigate the crime and to support the victims and their relatives. My thanks go to all the responders at the scene.”
