Mother and 2-year-old daughter die days after Munich ramming attack, police say
A 37-year-old woman and her 2-year-old daughter died from their injuries two days after a car intentionally plowed into a crowd in Munich, German police said.
A 37-year-old woman and her 2-year-old daughter died from their injuries two days after a car intentionally plowed into a crowd in Munich, German police said.
A police spokesman said the mother and daughter died Saturday afternoon. Their names have not been released.
The attack, which took place Thursday during a trade union demonstration, injured dozens of people between the ages of 2 to 60, with eight seriously hurt, police said earlier in the week.
The suspect, who drove a white vehicle into the crowd of thousands of people, was arrested on 36 counts of attempted murder, as well as grievous bodily harm and reckless driving.
Authorities said the attack is being treated as an act of Islamic extremism, though they emphasized that it is not connected to a nearby major security conference featuring world and defense leaders, including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, where the main topic of discussion has been the war in Ukraine.
