In Munich, Germany, something very upsetting happened. A car drove into a crowd of people. This took place during a peaceful gathering, called a trade union demonstration. It happened early in the day. Many people were hurt, including some children.
The police are looking into this event very seriously. They think it was not an accident but a possible attack. The driver of the car is a 24-year-old man from Afghanistan. He had asked for safety in Germany, called asylum. The police have spoken about him because he had been in trouble before for stealing and using drugs.
When the car drove into the crowd, police were nearby. They tried to stop the driver and shot at the car. Thankfully, they caught him quickly. Officials said there is no danger from him anymore. Everyone is very worried, especially the mayor of Munich, who said he was shocked and felt for the injured people.
This attack has made people more alert, especially with an important meeting called the Munich Security Conference starting soon. Many important leaders will be there, like the Vice President of the United States. They are all trying to keep everyone safe.
Mayor and other leaders want to find out what really happened. They want to make sure that nothing like this happens again. The police are working hard on this case.
This event reminds us to care for each other and to be safe. It's always important to look out for one another. We hope that everyone who got hurt gets better soon. And as for the people in charge, they are making steps to keep everyone safe and sound.
