German investigators are trying to understand the “confused” statements of a 29-year-old man who drove his car into a group of children and killed a teacher in Berlin, Mayor Franziska Giffey said on Thursday.
Authorities have established that the Armenian-German man is mentally ill, but have yet to conclude any reason for Wednesday’s incident, or any possible connection to posters about Turkey found in the back of his car, according to Is it over there.
Families mourned the teacher who was killed after taking children from the small town of Bad Arolsen, in the state of Hessen, on a trip to the German capital.
A police spokesman said 29 people were injured, including some students.
The incident took place in a busy business district near the site of a fatal attack in 2016, when a truck rammed into a crowded Christmas market.
Investigators, with the help of a translator, were trying to determine more about the “sometimes confusing statements he was making”, Giffey told RBB Infordio, describing a “dark day in Berlin’s history”.
German newspaper Bild reported that the man lived with his mother and a sister, who pointed out that the brother has “serious problems”.
