Authorities have not provided any specific numbers, merely confirming the fatalities. Yet, according to the Rheinische Post, citing a police source, the number of those dead now stands at three. Around 30 people are estimated to be injured.

The incident took place in the center of Muenster. Police have cordoned off the area and asked people to avoid it. The nature of the incident remains “unclear,” police said in a Twitter post urging everyone to “avoid speculation,” RT reports.

Photos from the scene appear to show a grey minivan, seen among scattered chairs and tables in a narrow street. The café in question, called the Kiepenkerl, is popular among locals and tourists. It is located in the historical part of the city. The street where the incident took place is also located in the vicinity of several major shopping centers, RT reports.

The driver of the van fatally shot himself.

There are incoming reports that there were explosives inside the van that failed to detonate.

Thank God. The death toll would have certainly been much higher.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved.

This is a breaking news story. Check back for updates. 

God Bless.
