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.
A couple of days ago police and state media ran a puff piece in which cops searched Christmas market visitors to enforce "no weapon zones". Of course they focused on old White people. They even found a pocket knife on some German granny. Mission accomplished!
unironically, they actually already have this. all cars are internet connected, at least in Europe and the US, and have full GPS tracking. if your car has OnStar, then the government can indeed remotely shut down your car.

Car refuting all gun control arguments.
Don't worry, that is why we need the constant surveillance and remote lockdown on cars is what they will say....

If a Sikh had walked by, openly carrying his "ceremonial" dagger, would they have stopped him?
