zen Posted June 26, 2021 Author Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) I did not want to jump the gun but, from reports, the act appears to be motivated by religion: The man had lived in Wuerzburg since 2015, the year Germany opened its borders to more than a million migrants and refugees fleeing war and poverty. His life was not in danger and he was being questioned by police in hospital, Herrmann said. "His condition had been noticed in recent months, including violent tendencies, and a few days ago he was put into compulsory psychiatric treatment," Herrmann said. Later, he told public television that, according to one witness, the suspect had called "Allahu akbar", an Arabic phrase meaning "God is great" and often associated with acts of Islamist terrorism before starting his spree. "That suggests a possible Islamist motive, and that is also part of the investigation," he added.
