1 Killed, 3 Injured In Attack At Munich Train Station By Man Shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’

Quote:One person was killed and three others were injured Tuesday morning when a knife-wielding man attacked people indiscriminately at a commuter rail station outside Munich, Germany.

The attack happened in Grafing, about 20 miles east of Munich, shortly before 5 a.m. (11 p.m. ET Monday). The Munich newspaper Merkur reported that the attacker, carrying a four-inch knife, stabbed one man on a train, a second man in the station forecourt and two other men who were passing by on bikes.

Investigators told the Suddeutsche Zeiting newspaper that witnesses had reported that the attacker had shouted “Allahu Akbar!”, the Arabic phrase meaning “God is Great!” during the assault. Merkur reported that the suspect had yelled, “You infidels!”, among other statements.

Despite reports of the man’s shouts, German authorities reportedly said they did not have any evidence linking the man to ISIS. The man is believed to have mental health and drug problems.

Apparently the attacker is a native German drug addict and allegedly has been in psychiatric counseling.

Quote:Information from the official press conference:

The person is German without migration background, 27 years old and from Hessen, another federal state of Germany. While he shouted Allahu Akbar and even You all unbelievers have to die, the police excludes an Islamist motivation. He was on psychiatric therapy until yesterday and talking weird stuff (like he had to take off his shoes since bugs were causing his feet to burn). On Sunday he was arrested at a techno party for being under the influence of illegal drugs. There's no documentation that he converted to Islam at any time and he was a carpenter until he became unemployed two years ago. The interrogation shows that his statements are highly chaotic without any systematic reasoning.

That is sad. I wish there was a more clear path for getting these people back into the proverbial nut house.
