| 2025-01-01 | |
| [Daily Mail where America gets its news] German police have shot a man dead after he stole a digger and used it to rampage through a quiet town. The man, who has not yet been identified, hijacked the digger from a construction company in the small southern German town of Grünsfeld at around 1:35pm local time before driving it to Tauberbischofsheim, about five miles away. Video footage of the chaos showed the man crashing the yellow digger into a JET petrol station as police appear to fire shots at him. He was hit by gunfire at a car dealership in Tauberbischofsheim and resuscitated, but later died from his injuries. He reportedly damaged several police vehicles, and is said to have seriously injured an officer. Local police later said that while she had been trapped during the rampage, she has since been able to leave the hospital. On X, local police said that there was now no longer any danger to the public following the 'suspected rampage.' Germany has been on high alert for weeks following the terror attack in the city of Magdeburg, in which Saudi doctor Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, 50, smashed his rented SUV into a crowd at the Christmas market.
