The Guardian is reporting that "Three killed and four seriously injured at diversity festival in Germany." The article reports:
Three people have been killed and four are seriously wounded, German police have said, after an attack at a festival in the city of Solingen in the country’s west.
An earlier report from German news agency dpa cited unidentified police sources as saying the weapon was believed to be a knife.
No one has been arrested. The festival marking the city’s 650th anniversary began on Friday and was supposed to run through Sunday.
Most news outlets are simply describing the festival as a "festival" or "street party," but the New York Post notes that "[t]he 'Festival of Diversity,' marking the city’s 650th anniversary, began on Friday and was supposed to run through Sunday, with several stages in central streets offering attractions such as live music, cabaret and acrobatics." The Post also reported that the perpetrator was on the run. Deutsche Welle has additional details about the incident, but no description of the suspect. In fact, almost no one is providing a description. Times Now News, however, relates: "Witnesses described the suspect as an 'Arabic man,' though he remains unidentified and at large."
