A car drove into a crowd of people in a busy shopping district in western Berlin on Wednesday, killing at least one woman and leaving six others with life-threatening injuries, authorities said.

More than a dozen people in total were injured when the driver ploughed into people on Kurfuerstendamm avenue, near the landmark Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, at around 10:30 a.m. local time, according to the German capital's police and fire department.

After slamming into the crowd, the small silver Renault careened toward Tauentzienstrasse, a tree-lined street popular with tourists, before crashing through a glass shop window.

Remember, kids:

If it says Renault
It can be used to assault!

There’s no need for ordinary citizens to own assault Renaults!

Inconclusive. “A man” did it.

The driver, a 29-year-old German-Armenian national...

It would be better to ban German-Armenians from driving in Germany ...

[George J. Jetso]

Assault Renaults are a danger to humanity and should be banned. Sue Renault out of business for manufacturing a weapon of war that can kill innocent people.

Apparently it was deliberate, confession letter found in car, German-Albanian man being held. He was previously known to police https://news.yahoo.com/berlin-crash-latest-one-dead-112137366.html

I lived in a hotel for months at a time just down on KDam Strasse pre Islamic invasion. Was a fun place.

Medical emergency, vehicle failure or deliberate action. It used to only be the first two possibilities as a rule. Sending prayers for the victims.

Sad. We need common sense car control laws.

[Vigilanteman]

“a car driven into a crowd” is a headline a lefty would write just as they would blame “a gun shooting random people.”

[Obadiah]

Right. When assault cars are outlawed, only outlaws will have assault cars!

[glennaro]

Why would this murderer be "allowed" to survive the arrest.
He should have been "killed in the car crash".

Full Automatic sedan no doubt.....

Matthew McConaughey should be out demanding a ban on vehicles.
