Nine Dead and 50 Wounded After Truck Crashes Into Berlin Christmas Market in Possible Terror Attack

The Associated Press is reporting that nine people have died and at least 50 were wounded Monday night when a truck crashed into a crowded Christmas market in Berlin.

The attacker is said to be on the run, Reuters reports.

Reuters reports that local German media are speculating that the incident looks like a terrorist attack. A terrorist attack carried out by a Tunisian citizen driving a truck killed 84 people on Bastille Day this year. The driver, Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, was then shot dead by police.

This is the second high-profile terrorist attack today: the Russian ambassador to Turkey was shot dead in Ankara this morning while attending an art gallery. Everything is terrible, and getting worse.
