Police have not identified the attacker yet, but it is known where he lived prior to his horrific crime. Although he initially stayed at a refugee camp like many of his fellow immigrants, the suspect managed to win the sympathy of a German foster family, with whom he ended up living with for two weeks before he endeavoured on his campaign of terror:
Groteqsque images printed in German newspapers showed lino-covered floors of the regional train RB 58130 travelling from Treuchtlingen to Würzburg awash with blood. Following the attack, the 17-year-old refugee then went on the run, with a huge police force, including a helicopter, in pursuit.
A police spokesman confirmed he has since been shot while fleeing the scene.
Joachim Herrmann, Bavarian’s interior minister described the event as a “truly terrible act, one we have never experienced in Bavaria before.”
