After the attack on the Magdeburg Christmas market, the number of fatalities has risen to five. This was said by Saxony-Anhalt’s Minister-President Reiner Haseloff (CDU) on Saturday during a visit by the Federal Chancellor, who inspected the crime scene.
On the eve, a 50-year-old man drove a BMW SUV into the crowd. Besides the fatalities, there are also over 200 injured, including 41 seriously injured and 86 people with other severe injuries. Therefore, it is feared that the number of fatalities may still rise further.
