Happened an hour ago so news are still trying to catch up.
Someone intentionally drove a car through people at a Christmas market in Magdeburg in Germany. Last I've read emergency services reported 1 dead and up to 80 people injured. They've caught the terrorist (unfortunately alive). He's allegedly a Syrian migrant but no official confirmation yet.
Edit: Latest news say at least 11 dead. Terrorist is supposedly from Saudi-Arabia. He rented the car shortly before the attack and drove 400m through the market.
Edit 2: The attacker targeted the children's fairy tale area of the market according to witnesses. He's allegedly 50 years old, worked at a local hospital and came to Germany in 2006. Police are currently raiding his home.

European media and police will doubtless be focussing on tracking anyone who highlights this was completely avoidable…
