A suspect walked into a store in Wuerzburg, went to the household goods department and asked a saleswoman where the knives were, regional police chief Gerhard Kallert said. He then grabbed a knife and fatally stabbed three women in the store, before continuing to attack people outside. Six people, most of them women, one a 15-year-old girl, were seriously injured, and one of them remained in a life-threatening condition on Saturday. The 24-year-old Somali was then stopped with a shot to the leg by police and arrested. A store detective and police officers reported hearing the suspect say “Allahu akbar,” Arabic for “God is great.” Bavaria’s top security official, Joachim Herrmann, said that “further cautious indications” in that direction emerged from his questioning, without elaborating. Material with “hate messages” also was found but has yet to be evaluated, police said.
Authorities Puzzle Over Motive for German Knife Attack BERLIN—The German city of Wuerzburg on Sunday held a memorial service for the victims of a brutal knife attack that left three women dead, while questions about the possible motive of the assailant remained unanswered. Friday’s assault in and outside a store in the center of the Bavarian city left another five people seriously injured. The suspect, a 24-year-old Somali man, was shot in the leg by police and arrested after people surrounded him and tried to hold him at bay with chairs and sticks. Investigators were still working Sunday to figure out what was behind the attack by what they believe was a lone assailant. They are assessing his mental health and trying to determine whether he was radicalized as an Islamic extremist. It was unclear whether he deliberately targeted women.

Hintergründe weiter unklar Bei der Suche nach einem Motiv wurden die Ermittler noch nicht endgültig fündig. Unklar sei, inwiefern die Psyche des 24 Jahre alten Somaliers eine Rolle gespielt habe und inwiefern islamistische Einstellungen zur Tat beigetragen hätten, sagte Bayerns Innenminister Joachim Herrmann am Samstag. Die Beamten gingen weiter davon aus, dass es sich um einen Einzeltäter handelt. Von den mindestens fünf Schwerverletzten des Messerangriffs kämpfen nach Herrmanns Angaben immer noch mehrere um ihr Leben. Er hoffe, dass sie genesen könnten. Verdächtiger verhaltensauffällig Der unterfränkische Polizeipräsident Gerhard Kallert schilderte auf der Pressekonferenz, dass der Täter die Tatwaffe in der Haushaltswarenabteilung eines Kaufhauses genommen und mit dem Messer unmittelbar auf eine Verkäuferin eingestochen habe, die ihren Verletzungen erlag. Auch die zwei weiteren Todesopfer waren Frauen, die der Mann in dem Kaufhaus attackierte.
