The German city of Muenster has been the victim of a terrible mass hit by a van to a group of people, causing several deaths and dozens of injuries. The person responsible for it has committed suicide after what happened as reported by the country's police. When asked if it is a possible terrorist attack like the one that took place in Barcelona, the local police have preferred not to go ahead. "We don't speculate."

According to the German news agency DPA, there are three fatalities and at least twenty wounded. It seems that it is too early to guess why the local police have asked via Twitter to ignore the rumors circulating on social networks since the information is still confusing and incomplete.

The place is currently cordoned off and full of firefighters, ambulances and police trying to clarify the horrible incident in this small city of three hundred thousand inhabitants. The local press assures that several helicopters fly over the area in search of possible explosives, evidence or other suspicious movements.

The outrage took place in a central area that more tourists usually gather for its restaurants and venues. There is still a lot to find out about it, for the moment the German government has reacted and has transmitted its solidarity with the victims and their families in an emotional message.

Terrible news from Münster. The North Rhine-Westphalia police keep them informed. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families, Deputy Executive Spokesperson Ulrike Demmer wrote on the social network Twitter.

The incident comes a year after another truck voluntarily collided with a group of citizens in Stockholm, leaving five fatalities.
