Mannheim attacker has no criminal record: Prosecutor
Every once in a while we get the full name of a miscreant in Germany. This is one of those times, so here it is, though there is nothing else new in the article. [Rudaw] Alexander Scheuermann, 40, drove into a crowd in the western German city of Mannheim on Monday. He has no criminal records and is possibly suffering from mental illness, according to the general prosecutor of the city."According to the information we have obtained, the suspect is a 40-year-old German citizen who apparently lived alone without family in Ludwigshafen and has not previously appeared in criminal records to any significant extent," Romeo Schussler, a senior public prosecutor in Mannheim, told Rudaw. Security remains a key concern in Germany following recent Chief of police in Mannheim said two people were killed. Several others were maimed. "A car has hit several people in the pedestrian zone. Initially, it was thought to be a traffic accident, but witness statements very quickly strengthened our suspicion that it was a deliberate drive at high speed in the pedestrian zone, where there was a conscious acceptance of injuring people, or unfortunately also killing them. We have two people dead and at the moment we know of eleven people injured, some seriously," Ulrike Schafer said.
