German authorities say a car-ramming incident in the southwestern city of Mannheim that killed two people Monday was a deliberate attack but it does not appear to have been politically or religiously motivated.
Police said Monday night the two dead were an 83-year-old woman and a 54-year-old man. Eleven others were injured.
The attacker purposefully targeted and struck people at high speed, police said at a press conference, noting that authorities originally thought they were responding to a traffic accident.
Mannheim police said they had arrested the suspect after launching a large-scale manhunt in the city center shortly after midday local time (6 a.m. ET).
