Sat. 25.02.2017 - After the incident that occurred at some 16:00 p.m. local time, German police reportedly shot the man after he attempted to flee. Currently, the man is in a hospital.
One pedestrian wounded in the incident is in a critical condition. Media reports suggested that the man was armed with a knife.
The man who drove a black Opel was intercepted by a police patrol and shot by a law enforcer after a short standoff.
A police spokesman David Faulhaber told Sputnik that he "can neither confirm nor deny" that the incident is a terror attack. He also could not say whether those injured are the city's citizens or not.

Sun. 26.02.2017 - The man, who police said was a German student with no criminal record, is receiving medical treatment after he was shot in the stomach in a foot chase. The car-ramming injured three people, one of whom later died.
"An arrest warrant has been issued for a 35-year-old man at the request of Heidelberg prosecutor’s office on suspicion of one count of murder, three counts of attempted murder, two counts of causing serious bodily harm," the statement read.
Police said his motives were still unclear and he had not commented on them during the initial questioning, but there was no indication this was a terrorist attack. The man will stay under police surveillance until he is moved to a prison hospital.
Dozens Injured as Truck Plows Into Parade Crowd in New Orleans

Sun. 26.02.2017 - Officials say 28 were injured in the incident, and 21 taken to local hospitals. The youngest victim was just three years old, according to reports.
"Initial reports show so far about a dozen people are in critical condition," police spokeswoman Ambria Washington said, the Daily Star reports. "That number could increase as the investigation is ongoing."
The incident occurred as the parade began to pass through the intersection of Carrollton Avenue and Orleans Street, witnesses said. It is unclear if it was a deliberate attack as some witnesses describe the driver of the gray truck that careened into onlookers as seeming "drunk" and "out of it."
Police chief Michael Harrison said one person had been taken into custody and was being investigated for drunk driving, the Guardian reports. Police do not believe terrorism was a motivation for the incident.
The parade is part of the run up to the city's huge annual Mardi Gras celebration.

Maybe a 'copycat'? This occurred at the beginning of the year (Jan 20th 2017). Since then, we seem to have had an increase in vehicles being used as weapons.

Re: Possible terrorist attack in Australia: breaking
Just to update on this incident, this occurred on a sunny summer day on the busiest intersection in Melbourne, which is a large city and everybody is in holiday mode and out doing Christmas shopping, and the time of day was when most workers would be knocking off work and wending their way home.
The vehicle, an SUV was doing an estimated 80 to 100 kmh when it ran into pedestrians and came to a sudden stop when it hit a concrete tram stop. Bypassers immediately jumped into action so that each of the victims had about four people attending them, and about ten people jumped onto the offending vehicle and arrested the driver and his passenger. A few minutes later the police arrived on the scene, followed by ambulances and paramedics.
Fourteen people have been hospitalised, four of them are critical, and one victim is just a toddler.
The police have locked the area down and nobody is getting in or out, they have intimated that this is being treated as a deliberate act.

At French Sputnik they say that the police said he was under dope and had psychological problems. They also say that he is from Afganistan and has 32 years.
Maybe they don't want to scare the people saying this is a terrorist attack ?

If you allow large numbers of immigrants from countries that Western powers have embroiled in war for years, among those people will be those traumatized by war and easily manipulated and susceptible to propaganda. Expect more of this in all countries that accept refugees from war zones.

Indeed, let alone that western intelligence services are happy to support, oblige or keep an eye closed whenever migrants are planning to carry out an attack. Saves them the trouble of carrying it out themselves under a 'false flag.'
