Several killed in knife attack in Solingen, Germany | BBC News

Police in Germany say a number of people have been killed and injured in a suspected knife attack in the western city of Solingen.

At the time of the attack, celebrations were under way to mark the 650th anniversary of the city being founded.

German newspaper Bild is reporting that the suspect stabbed people at random at the festival.

The attacker is believed to have fled the scene, and police have launched a manhunt.

When people are fatally stabbed,
it IS NOT a ‘suspected knife attack’.

[jongarratt]

Surprised the BBC hasn't called it "a mostly peaceful mass stabbing murder attack"

[chikitabowow]

When they use words like "killed" instead of "murdered", and "*_suspected_* knife attack" you know exactly what kind of perpetrator it was

[Ace-Of-Spades-]

The one thing we know for sure is that he’s not white.

[faarfaar]

Bets on, can't identify the attacker.

Immigration worries in Europe are mostly about Islam, pure and simple. Most people have no real issue with controlled immigration of Indians, Chinese, South Americans, North Americans, Japanese etc. This issue isn’t about race. It’s ideological. People feel threatened by the rate at which Islam is being imported into Europe. The wider political class will ignore this issue at their peril.

Knife attack...sounds like a terrorist attack to me?

As usual, YOU are forgetting to say that the "suspect" is middle eastern looking? Oh yeah, YOU are not allowed in Britain now to tell such truths ! Your "crime minister" has perhaps something to say about this "event"??

[mlynto]

Do we get arrested for commenting German events?

[thelolguy]

‘Suspected knife attack’ ?? Three people were murdered and several terribly injured

[tthompson]

No details on the attacker? Nothing to keep an eye open for? Just a man with a knife?

[olivette-yo]

the result of massive immigration from under developped countries.

[LightSaber]

The irony of calling it a diversity festival

[Kevin_the_th]

Im german and i bet this guy is NOT german

[AB-iist]

They wanted diversity and got diversity.

[fangan]

As system press, you at the BBC are partly to blame for the conditions in Europe. Your reporting is hypocritical. How can you still speak of a 'suspected knife attack'?

[ronson]

" engineers" & "doctors " strike again

[western-oud]

Stop saying killed FFS..this wasn't a tragic accident or horrific car crash or something they were deliberately targeted by someone and MURDERED..MURDERED

[danielfisher]

Don't have any thoughts on this, or you'll be arrested for being far right.
