03:18Germany: Hundreds attend vigil for victims after driver kills 5 in Trier
The city of Trier held a vigil, on Wednesday, after a car drove through a pedestrian zone yesterday, killing at least five people and injuring several.
"We are a small town, people know each other, and when a mayor walks through the city centre and sees killed people covered up, he also recognises people, friends, people he has met, said Trier Mayor Wolfram Leiber, who called on residents to show solidarity 'despite the corona distance.'
The suspect Bernd W. is believed to be German and native of Trier. At least five people died, including a baby in the attack while 14 other people were injured.
The suspect's motive remains unclear, though investigations are underway. He was reportedly inebriated at the time of the attack. The public prosecutor's office has reported there are indications that the suspect suffers from a possible mental illness.
